lyrics

i've spent this day lying in bed and trying on old clothes
in the mirror i see something vague behind me
i blow cigarette smoke my grandmothers menthols
to catch the forms of the things floating around me
they reveal and present themselves to be
my past mistakes and loves and hates and doubts and fears
but i guess i'll just call them ghosts

can you push the past behind you?
as easily as the photos you deleted
former lives returning in your head
as surely as the songs you'd rather forget

the ghosts they approach me
and ask me to sing with them
i hesitate but accept the offer
and so we sing the songs they used to sing in washington
the songs i used to sing along to when i was young
no more ghosts to put the blame on
time to try to understand and move on

understand but not forget
because i've never been one
to deny myself regret
