Phantom

It stopped making sense
A long time ago we were friends
Alive in the glow of the light
That shined from what I thought was Heaven
You looked in my eyes
Said, "That's where we're going," and I've
Got so much to show you, but I
Can't wait at the doorway forever

I swear I've tried to retreat from all this
But your voice keeps following me like a phantom
With thousands of questions, no answers, yeah, yeah
Drank away your memories, regardless
You're still in all of my dreams, can't escape it
Wake up and my heart is vacant, yeah, yeah

It doesn't exist
But you say you know where it is
Right under our noses, a light
That stays on if your heart is open
I looked in the sky
And wished for a picturesque night
In which to hold you, but I
Found out that light had been broken

I swear I've tried to retreat from all this
But your voice keeps following me like a phantom
With thousands of questions, no answers, yeah, yeah
Drank away your memories, regardless
You're still in all of my dreams, can't escape it
Wake up and my heart is vacant, yeah, yeah

You were a star glowing ever so bright
And now your outline is burned in my mind
All of the time
Soft brush of your hair, your scent in the air
But you aren't there

I swear I've tried to retreat from all this
But your voice keeps following me like a phantom
With thousands of questions, no answers, yeah, yeah
Drank away your memories, regardless
You're still in all of my dreams, can't escape it
Wake up and my heart is vacant, yeah, yeah
