STARING AT GHOSTS (2012)

4th and i believe, final, proper release from "Staring At Ghosts, Living With Trees."

I opened the door to the house and I stepped on the street
Waking again from the longest of all of my dreams
I don't know where you went and honestly I want to follow
It's funny like sad you were such a part and now I feel hollow...

So where do I go and how do I run?
I'm looking for answers but there are just none
Or maybe it's just that you swallow and keep up the pace
And pray that the whole world can't see it all over your face...

Truth is I've had so much love in my life I am luckier than most
No, I was not looking I was too busy staring at ghosts...
And I can't tell you how easy it is to let someone like you go
you keep on apologizing but I told you I'm staring at ghosts...

I reach back through time and I am there with you tonight
Past midnight in a highway truck stop drinking coffee and we might
Figure out the answer to life but then you do something cute
And we're both distracted and I'm writing poems and falling into you

And somehow I'm spit back out onto the streets of my Californian town
Taking a downtown train back home to where I'm living now
And my roommate is putting up pictures of us on the wall
And I wish my mama could see them, but nobody can have it all

Truth is I've had so much love in my life I am luckier than most
No, I wasn't looking I was too busy staring at ghosts...
And I can't tell you how easy it is to let someone like you go
you keep on apologizing but I told you I'm staring at ghosts...

and I'm not ready at all to call it a night
my last cigarette and do you think that you have a light?
It's not much to ask just no more darkness please
It doesn't make you pretty drawing hearts in the dirt on your knees...

Open your eyes and look around and you'll see
You're not living with ghosts anymore, you are living with trees
You are living with trees
Living with trees
Living with trees
Living with trees
 Staring at ghosts, living with trees...
