Ghost of Avalon

The street sign by the home of my new lover
The billboard that I pass by every day
And just when I thought that I had recovered
You're written on the bumper of the car
That I'm tailgating on the highway

Well I'm not one for clinging to the past
But your name keeps tryna hold me back

And I've made my peace
With the way these memories taste bittersweet
And it's strange but fine
How we grew apart but stayed parallel lines
Three years doesn't seem so long
When you're haunted by the ghost of Avalon

There were times that I would take the back roads
I knew couldn't stand to see the signs
The sight of it would send me down a spiral
But lately I've been thinking it'd be nice
To sit and catch up over wine
I'm almost certain we could find a bottle
A fruity blend of California red
Your name plastered proudly on the label
We'd laugh and let it breathe
Until we finally put our bitterness to bed

I'm not one for clinging to the past
But sometimes it's fun to wander back

Cus I've made my peace
With the way these memories taste bittersweet
And it's strange but fine
How we grew apart but stayed parallel lines
Three years doesn't seem so long
Though the kids who fell in love are dead and gone
Can confidently say I'm moving on
Cus when the morning brings the dawn
I don't mind that I'm haunted by the ghost of Avalon
