Topeka Clementine - 7 Lyrics

It's been years since I have seen that face
The only eyes I could call home
You told me one day we would leave this place
Before we turn to skin and bone

I seek comfort in a strangers gaze
A futile hunger all my own
Forever tracing back the debts I've paid
Yet always wondering who I owe

I second guess
Every thought of you
A passing glance
A parting gesture

Second best
The final fuse
But honey I should warn you

I'm a ghost that died here 7 years ago
Just wait until last call and then you'll see
I'll fade into the floorboards like a puff of smoke
That seeps in through the gaps between your teeth

I'm a ghost that died here 7 years ago
Just wait until last call and then you'll see
I'll fade into the floorboards like a puff of smoke
That seeps in through the gaps between your teeth

Forever running always second place
I water every seed you sow
And though we know we'll never win this race
I justify each fatal blow

I second guess
Every thought of you
I'm second best
To any parting gesture

A passing glance
The final fuse
But honey I should warn you

I'm a ghost that died here 7 years ago
Just wait until last call and then you'll see
I'll fade into the floorboards like a puff of smoke
That seeps in through the gaps between your teeth

I'm a ghost that died here 7 years ago
Just wait until last call and then you'll see
I'll fade into the floorboards like a puff of smoke
That seeps in through the gaps between your teeth
