I've Been Riding With the Ghost - 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

And now 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

Never met a single one who didn’t see through me

None of them would 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

Standing on the crossroad

Trying to make up my mind

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

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 the change

Now I made the change
