You're chasing the ghost
of something you used to have
wishing it would come back
but the whole time you're chasing ghosts
you can't see the good thing you have
you're chasing the ghost of an old flame
wishing it would burn again
and the whole while you're chasing ghosts
you can't see what you have to gain
you're chasing ghosts
but just open your eyes
what's right in front of you
is as good as those ghosts
but it's real
