lyrics

I'm trashed on ghost fumes
got the parking lot blues
and to any offer I refuse
to give up any ground

I think I lost something along the way
conviction, courage, a little faith
and no one should have to wait
for me to come back around

these days are long and full of change
I make mistakes I didn't think I'd make
sometimes to even hesitate
is a choice
all it's own

the moon would bounce on down our street
light up things others couldn't see
and I don't think I ever felt so free
as the first time you took me in

I was a boy my mind on fire
idealistic to the point of denial
and I think you knew all the while
one day, it'd come crashing down

these days are long and full of change
I make mistakes I didn't think I'd make
sometimes to even hesitate
is a choice
all it's own

I miss the summers
I miss love
those country roads between our parent's homes
and christ I feel it in my bones
there's nothing
there for me now

but I don't have one bitter word
It's all been said, It's all been heard
I'm only sad others got so hurt
by a single, broken heart

I'll make my way through the changes now
straighten shit out, just try to smile
& if the ghost comes to stay awhile
then I guess that's alright with me

these days are long and full of change
I make mistakes I didn't think I'd make
sometimes to even hesitate
is a choice
all it's own

I miss the summers
I miss love
those country roads between our parent's homes
and christ I feel it in my bones
there's nothing
there for me now

goodbye to my hometown.
