lyrics

"The Purple Ghost"

bathed in purple light
the ghost is back tonight
remind me how
to dream a better life

haunt the skies of my youth
now it's gone
days do bleed
life washes away

watch the years free fall
out of my hands
did we think life would unfold
just like we planned

bathed in purple light
the ghost is back tonight
he's tired as hell
and spoiling for a fight

in the hall of the know-it-all
the dunce is king
so be my queen
and watch this fire go out

i know it isn't me you're thinking of
and i'm sorry if you're falling out of love
i wanna hear from you i do things right
but i know i made mistakes that night
