[Verse 1]

Always out of breath from running uphill

A simple memory, the water and air were still

And it held me in the laugh of an old friend (A fleeting moment)

A time trial ghost that I will never catch again

[Chorus]

I spent more time in the past

Than the ghosts of my dead friends

Pulling all of the scabs from my arms

So I can watch flesh mend

Too stuck inside my head

To think about what follows

Everything you thought that you stole

Was just borrowed

[Verse 2]

You found me drunk and dizzy and upset

I watched you argue with a wall

That thought it deserved much less

I'm laughing now 'cause

Those years were probably my best

I spent them all worrying everyone to death

[Chorus]

I spent more time in the past

Than the ghosts of my dead friends

Pulling all of the scabs from my arms

So I can watch flesh mend

Too stuck inside my head

To think about what follows

Everything you thought that you stole

Was just borrowed

[Verse 3]

I've driven by your house a thousand times

Too embarrassed to look your parents in the eyes

And I wish to god I could say that, that it feels haunted

But it’s just vacant

[Bridge]

You were always the dreamer between us

Told me we’d both make it out of this place

And when we got there, then you’d get your teeth fixed

And I would finally get my open space

[Outro]

I spent more time in the past

Than the ghost of my dead friend

My favourite place in the park

The coffee shop down the street

The shows we used to attend

The way you’d spit out your drink

Those times you laughed way too hard

The smile you’d fake when they’d ask

If you were doing okay

I bought the lines that you fed

But now I'm stuck here alone

I can't forgive you for this

I forgive you for this
