Long Before Computers - The Ghost in You

Take me back to Willow Grove

My heart belongs to Hatboro

And I don’t wanna sit here in this room

I am bored with parties and with you

But I know that I’ll be leaving here tonight with my pride

Why can’t we talk just like we did

Like before when we were kids?

We’d laugh all night and hang out in the street

About stupid things and girls we wanna meet

But I haven’t spent a night like that with you for far too long

I know they say that I’m no fun

And that I’m not like everyone

But all you do is get fucked up anymore

The same thing that you did the night before

Sometimes I find it so hard to believe

That part of you was once a part of me

When I look up at photos on my wall that you’re in

Maybe it was just time to grow up

Or maybe you’ve just flat out given up

Or maybe I just do not give a fuck, you’ll say

I am staring at this sky

I am hoping I go blind

I am watching you decline

I am fine

And I feel like standing up on a rock that hasn’t sunk

While I watch you floating by me

With your head up to catch your breath

I will kneel down to pull you in

But I reach out and lose my grip, or did I?
