Call Off Your Ghost - Live

Last night, old friend, big wedding
 And I knew you'd be there too
 Look at us, all grown up
 Collared shirts and high heeled shoes
 You crossed the room, just the decent thing to do
 Make sure we'd all been introduced
 You brought your new friend
 I brought mine
 Shake hands
 Pay courtesy its due
 But it takes its toll
 And it takes its hold
 We've lived
 Too long, too close
 So call off your ghost
 You're asking can't we just be friends
 But this bell in my chest still rings
 And it's better to just pretend
 That I can't see you waving
 Can't hear you call my name
 I know how much you hate it
 But, babe I've got to walk away
 You once said if we were careful
 That we could do this all our lives
 Ah, but one of us got clumsy
 Both of us got wise
 Now we're not so young
 Seems our wishing well's gone dry
 We've been living
 Too long, too close
 And I'm ready to let you go
 I'm ready (call off your ghost)
 So call off your ghost
 I think she lives around here
 (I see her almost daily)
 All I can do to stop myself from saying something crazy
 (I don't think badly of her)
 I hope she makes you happy
 (It's just a lot to ask to watch your future walking past me)
 I know that jealousy's a perfect waste of time
 But left to my devices
 I've spent far too long wasting mine
 I've spent far too long wasting mine
 We've been living
 Too long, too close
 And I'm ready to let you go
 I'm ready (call off your ghost)
 So call off your ghost
 We've been living
 Too long, too close
 And I'm ready to let you go
 I'm ready
 Call off your ghost
 Ladies and gentlemen, Ashley DuBose
