The Phantom of Us

Although you're long gone
The feeling still lingers, lingers on
Held captive, by myself in a private prison
Within walls erected with memories of you
Once solace, yet now impossible to pass through.

There is still time to it now
When the phantom of our past
Keeps me up through the night
There is still time to it now
When the phantom of our past
Claims all can be made right

I wonder, in hope, whenever I feel, feel the phone
Whether it's you and it still cuts me through the bone
When I realize it's not and will never, ever be
Yet again had by my mind, failure, lots of sea

There is still time to it now
When the phantom of our past
Keeps me up through the night
There is still time to it now
When the phantom of our past
Tell me I must right

There is still time to it now
When the phantom of our past
Keeps me up through the night
There is still time to it now
When the phantom of our past
Threats to do me in right

There is still time to it now
When the phantom of our past
Keeps me up through the night
There will come a time, oh yes
When the phantom of us
At last does me in right
