Lyrics
Met up with the ghost from the past Who said... I can't slow down, my mind's moving too fast And I don't think that I like the things I'm thinking I said brother try to relax It takes time for these things to pass He said fine then he threw me out the door Should have stayed He was on the floor So much pain Could I have done more? Saw a ghost from the past just the other day His body still works but his soul flew away Or sits somewhere outside behind locked doors I said brother you should relax You were better in times that passed He just smiled as he looked right through me Ain't no way to get you back now Ain't no way to bring you back
