i lie down

it's been 24 months

since you left our house

24 months friday past

54 months

since we fell in love

10 seconds

since i thought of you last

i wake up in the morning

lying to my coffee

running out of reasons

trying to get your smell of me

by midday i'll feel pretty good

feels like it's over

feels like i think you think i should

yeah

i'm meeting new friends

eating new food

reading new books

subscribing to a new groove

but when i lie down

feels like the world's upon my shoulders

yeah i lie down

a little more worn

a little older

'cause when i lie down

then it's just you and me

'cause i lie down

with the ghost of your company

how do ya kill the ghost

when the ghost don't bleed?

she hangs out in my bed

she often needles me

screaming for attention

in the middle of the night

just won't let me forget her

stalkin' me till dawns light

woman is as false

as a feather in the wind

blowin' in the breeze

the original sin

forget she's there

and she'll tickle your nose

gentle as the daybreak

smellin' like a rose
