NOTHING TO GO ON someday i'll wake up on the sidewalks of the moon with a Polaroid of that old saloon where we fell in love over a long-forgotten beer ghosts of your laughter, a song in my ear the ghosts of your laughter, a song in my ear a wise woman told me that my soul’s wearing thin “oh your heart sounds like a violin” falling headfirst over a long-harbored fear the ghost of our love’s like a song in my ear ghost of our love’s like a song in my ear silence silence I’m over you silence silence I’m over you silence . . . so listen, listen this one’s for you la la la la la . . . this time, this time, this time I’m through la la la la . . . do you ever get the feeling you just woke up to your life and for one brief minute everything’s right this time, this time, this time I’m through nothing to go on but blind hope and so I’m just holding my breath that it’s true got nothing to go on but blind hope and so I’m just holding my breath that it’s true got nothing to go on but blind hope and so I’m just holding my breath that it’s true
