Matthew Schickele - Her Ghost

Opportunities come to break another bread
Every day you feel the tug of someone else's head
You cannot listen in to every tick of every clock
You cannot tap each maple tree from mountain top to dock
In time in time, start to get along with just a few
They seem nice, but someone else will ship them in some crew
Look up around less and less, settle in
You could break a brick on what you are, no one's getting in
We'd just been introduced, she said she wants to talk a bit
Someone who she doesn't know might help her, give a lift
But new has got to be a supernova shine
Lots of 'let it fade out', a lot of 'don't have time'
And her ghost's a heavy weight
And her ghost's a heavy weight
All right, all right, you sent yourself away
Excuses made, I left; didn't need another friend
In a couple of days I heard that she had chosen to end
Opportunity can come and grab you by the hair
Hope you hope you get to recognize it when it's there
And her ghost's a heavy weight
And her ghost's a heavy weight
All right, all right, you sent yourself away
