I saw you in the distance, so lovely and far away
I wondered where you came from
You waved your hand, you called my name
And time was running backwards towards something I can't believe
I started running after, I saw a ghost, he looked the same as me

If I ever give back what you gave me
Take it and run away as far as you can go
If I ever come back from the graveyard
Tell me I remind you of someone you used to know

You seem sullen and far away, I can't endure the waiting
My mind will fade, my heart will break
And time is running backwards towards something I can't define
I'm looking for an answer
Go easy, girl, your heart will break like mine

If I ever give back what you gave me
Take it and run away as far as you can go
If I ever come back from the graveyard
Tell me I remind you of someone you used to know

Grab the cigarettes, get a move on, we better go
Before they turn the lights down low
Dark silhouettes of a future you tried to forget
Everything you told me

If I ever give back what you gave me
Take it and run away as far as you can go
If I ever come back from the graveyard
Tell me I remind you of someone you used to know
If I ever give back what you gave me
Take it and run away as far as you can go
If I ever come back from the graveyard
Tell me I remind you of someone you used to know
