A GHOST OF REBECCA
I give up, I walk out
I can feel you hanging around my heart for the last time
Lament a winter of missed opportunities
I had a dream that I saw you I was wide awake
Looking at a girl who looks just like you
Looking lovely like I remember you looking
Looking like you’d look in a dream I was wide awake
Trippin’ on a regret, trippin’ on a memory
Trippin’ on all of the beautiful things in my head
Then I said (I said)
Give it up and give it up and give it up and do it again
Give it up and give it up and give it up and do it again
I gave up (on myself), I walked out (on you)
I could feel you creeping into my heart every last time
Lament a winter of contented misery
I had a dream I could hear you I was wide awake
Talking to myself wrapped up in a memory
Thinking about your voice so dark and important
Talking low and slow I was wide awake
Trippin’ on my musings, trippin’ on my yesterday
Trippin’ on all of the beautiful things in my head
Then I said (I said)
Give it up and give it up and give it up and do it again
Give it up and give it up and give it up and do it again
And for a little while
I’ll think about your smile
And I forget
Stand up fall down
My heart is in the clouds
But I keep my feet on the ground
Once or twice every night
I fall in love
With some new beautiful shell
Stand up fall down
My knees hit the ground
And I fall in love with the sound
Now again here I am
I fall out of love
With you my beautiful shell
Or were you more
Than the colours that define my sad longing
For a pretty lie
I had a dream we were sleeping I was wide awake
Next to you with your eyes wide open
Dreaming of me staring at you through closed eyes
While you slept and I dreamt I was wide awake
Trippin’ on what wasn’t, trippin’ on what might have been
Trippin’ on all of the beautiful things in my head
Then I said, I said
Give it up and give it up and give it up and do it again
Give it up and give it up and give it up and do it again
