Lyrics I've Been Riding With the Ghost - Songs: Ohia

I've Been Riding With the Ghost

While you was gone you must have done a lot of favors
You’ve got a whole lot of things I don’t think
That you could ever have paid for
While you’ve been busy crying
About my past mistakes
I’ve been busy trying to make a change
And now I made a change
I’ve been riding with the ghost
I’ve been doing whatever he told me
I’ve been looking door to door
To see if there was someone who’d hold me
Never met a single one who didn’t see through me
None of them would love me if they thought they might lose me
Unless I made a change
See I ain’t getting better
I am only getting behind
Standing on the crossroad
Trying to make up my mind
Trying to remember how it got so late
Why every night pain comes from a different place
Now something’s got to change
I put my foot to the floor
To make up for the miles I’ve been losing
I’m running out of things
I didn’t even know I was using
And while you’ve been busy
Learning how to complain
I’ve been busy learning
How to make the change
Now I made the change
