it’s been a thousand years since I’ve been here I do believe   that I’ve played along for the last time   and they don’t come round to talk about you like you were dead   but I swear I saw you out there   oh just the other day outside the diner   and I saw you walking by   and the years go by and I’m still trying to understand   how you were living out there   you’re a ghost this town could build around you cause they’re moving forward   and you’re still underground   but if we could talk and we could laugh just for one last time   and turn the clock back around   those buildings that were built after you gone away   would all come crashing down   and I would laugh like we would laugh back before they came   and turn this city around      he’s gonna die   I feel his heart dying   he’s gonna live this time   but I can’t stop trying   and my weakest moment   was waiting for him
