Ghost of Kerouac

Lyrics

[Verse 1] One of these days I'll wake up And one of those waves will catch the light just right The storm will break up, and the heavens will ignite One of those things they told us Would never come true just went ahead and did And the light that holds us turned us back to wide-eyed kids [Chorus] Like a dead poet come back, like the ghost of Kerouac Like the ocean you've been staring at Is just a photograph she gave ya And the shores that you swore you were standing on Were just a story that you've been telling wrong And you've been dwelling on the last line Like it's somehow gonna save ya [Verse 2] One of these days I'll wake up And all of these words will fall right in to place Just for the sake of giving time a little space One of these days I'll make up For all of the breath I've wasted on the rain And the space I take up won't be taken in vain [Chorus] Like a dead poet come back, like the ghost of Kerouac Like the ocean you've been staring at Is just a photograph she gave ya And the shores that you swore you were standing on Were just a story that you've been telling wrong And you've been dwelling on the last line Like it's somehow gonna save ya
