Musical Accompaniment:
Patrick Swayze - She's Like the Wind
I drove up to the summit
Told my parents I’d gone somewhere else
Parked my car at a neighbors
You snuck me in through the garage
Hushed voices and microwaved popcorn
We talked long into the night
You laughed at my color blindness
Because I couldn’t see the letters on the cards
But you were just as oblivious
To the feelings I had for you
Eventually I came to accept
There was nothing to be done for us
But then you took on a different form
Haunted me for years to come
Across the globe you chased me
A hungry ghost I couldn’t shake
Nietzsche said we’re all growing volcanoes
And though I don’t doubt it to be true
I’ve noticed something lately
I’m growing another you
It’s astounding just how easy it is
She’s like the wind
All I have to do is adjust my sails
She’s taking me far away
And this I’m quite ok with
I never knew where I was going anyway
One hungry ghost to replace another
These words have to get out somehow
