I've Been Riding With The Ghost Lyrics - Magnolia Electric Co - Songs:ohia

While you was gone you must have done a lot of favors 

You've got a whole lot of things I don't think 

That you could ever have paid for 

While you've been busy crying 

About my past mistakes 

I've been busy trying to make a change 

I made a change 

I've been riding with the ghost 

I've been doing whatever he told me 

I've been looking door to door to see 

if there was someone who'd hold me 

I never met a single one who didn't see through me 

None of them could love me if they thought they might lose me 

Unless I made a change 

See I ain't getting better. I am only getting behind 

I am standing on a crossroad trying to make up my mind 

I'm trying to remember how it got so late 

Why every night pain comes from a different place 

Now something's got to change 

I put my foot to the floor 

To make up for the miles I've been losing 

See I'm running out of things 

I didn't even know I was using 

And while you've been busy 

Learning how to complain 

I've been busy learning 

How to make a change 

I made it (almost) (again)
