Phantom Feelings

Lyrics

When I met you as young and as dumb and my hair was black
Gettin' drunk at a bar downtown, quotin' Sylvia Plath
I loved you so hard but you didn't seem to love me back
Now I'm older and sober and my hair ain't black

You're not closin' any bars down with me on a Thursday night anymore
I'm still missin' how you looked inside a cigarette light standin' by the door

We're said and done and now you're movin' 'cross the country
You found someone, I'm still acceptin' that it's not me
All the words we've ever said are bouncin' off the ceiling
I try not to but I still have phantom feelings

Well, you finally got another tattoo and I didn't even know
I thought you'd tell me, hell I thought that I would go
I bet hat northern air is cold when you're all alone
You finally got another tattoo and I didn't even know

You're not closin' any bars down with me on a Thursday night anymore
But I'm still missin' how you looked inside a cigarette light standin' by the door

We're said and done and now you're movin' 'cross the country
You found someone, I'm still acceptin' that it's not me
All the words we've ever said are bouncin' off the ceiling
I try not to but I still have phantom feelings
I still have phantom feelings

We're said and done and now you're movin' 'cross the country
You found someone, I'm still acceptin' that it's not me
All the words we've ever said are bouncin' off the ceiling
I try not to but I still have phantom feelings
