"Conversation With A Ghost" lyrics

"Conversation With A Ghost"

You made her french toast for breakfast
And asked the right questions
You always showed up
And you never let her down
Postcards and pictures
That she still has with her
You set the standard high
And I don't wanna let her down

I wanna give her everything
That she deserves
So how can I be half the man
You were to her

I'm wide awake
In the house she was raised
Imagining what you'd say
If we could be face to face
Oh I'm wide awake
Inside the home you've made
Oh how I wish that you could be someone I know
But I can't have a conversation with a ghost

I see you in her smile
I see you in her eyes when she cries
With her every mile
Looking down from up high
I met you through a frame
Never shook your hand
Nobody to blame
Never had a chance
So until the San Diego sunrise

I'm wide awake
In the house she was raised
Imagining what you'd say
If we could be face to face
Oh I'm wide awake
Inside the home you've made
Oh how I wish that you could be someone I know
But I can't have a conversation with a ghost

Wish you could've been there
At the Saint Clair
On a June Thursday night
Sold out crowd
Said it out loud
She's all I want
In this life

Memories we'll never make
French toast that will never taste
You're not lost from day to day
She still sees you in the way

I'm wide awake
In the house she was raised
Imagining what you'd say
If we could be face to face

Made her french toast for breakfast
And asked the right questions
You always picked her up
And now I'll never let her down
