Don't Worry, Ghosts

When our paths all start to part And the sun shatters the dark And everybody's dreams Start to manifest I'll be waiting here alone Clutching strongly to my phone In a haze And slumping back to rest So don't worry I'll remember our best When our golden age is dead And all these feelings of dread Come to light before my eyes Like a fantasy Even if you all forget I'll be sure to make an etch Upon my heart And carry it inside So don't worry Those days will never die When the past has soldiered on And all of you have gone And even if you all Don't remember it There's still someone stuck behind In his memories; confined Stuck in place Forever guarding you So don't worry You're all inside me too And when no one's looking back Because it's all burnt to ash And the happiest of times Weigh one down like lead I'll be here to lift that weight So you all don't have to wait You can go And make something of light So don't worry I'll keep this burning bright
