Retrospect
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
There's a ghost inside the receiver
It's been seven long hours since you've called
And we are none the wiser
But wishing we are and wishing we are
Hope fades into the dark night
A glass of champagne, that will make it right
Such a funny little story, such a funny little man
Though you run away don't worry
Just keep running as fast as you can
I'll get away from the city life and you
You will be chasing the light from me
You'll see that there's nothing left
Nothing but retrospect
I'm not a surface you can hide upon (hide upon)
I'm not the canvas you can write upon (write upon)
You're only part of this illusion for two
Deficit, but gratifying for you
And though you thought you'd never hurt me
Though you thought I'd never bleed
I came to re-write the story
And tell it as I please
I'll get away from the city life and you
You will be chasing the light from me
You'll see that there's nothing left
Nothing but retrospect
There's a ghost inside the receiver
It's been seven long days since you called
And we are none the wiser
But wishing we are and wishing we are
Hope fades into the dark night
A glass of champagne, that will make it right
Such a funny little story, such a funny little man
And though you run away don't worry
Just keep running as fast as you can
I'll get away from the city life and you
You will be chasing the light from me
You'll see that there's nothing left
Nothing but retrospect
I'll get away from the city life
I'll get away from the city life
Watch me
