Last night, best friend, big weddingAnd I knew you'd be there tooLook at us, all grown upCollared shirts and high heel shoesYou crossed the room, just the decent thing to doMake sure we've all been introducedYou brought your new friendI brought mine shake handsPay courtesy it's dueBut it takes it's tollAnd it takes it's holdWe've lived too long too closeSo call off your ghostNow you're asking can't we just be friendsBut this pain in my chest still ringsAnd its better to just pretendThat I can't see you waitingCan't hear you call my name andI know how much you hate itBut babe I've got to walk awayYou once said if we were carefulThat we could do this all our livesAlthough one of us got clumsyAnd both of us got wiseAnd now were not so young seeOur wishing wells gone dryWe've been living too long too closeAnd I'm ready to let you goI'm ready, so call off your ghostI think she lives around hereI see her almost dailyAll I can do to stop myself from saying something crazyI don't think badly of herI hope she makes you happyIt's just a lot to ask to watch your future walking past meI know that jealousy's a perfect waste of timeBut left to my devicesI've spent far too long wasting mine x2We've been living too long too closeAnd I'm ready to let you goI'm ready, so call off your ghost x2
