lyrics

I wouldn’t be surprised
if you randomly surfaced at my front door
I wouldn’t be surprised
if there was a girl on your arm
I'd never seen before
I wouldn’t be surprised
if I didn't even know anymore

it's been so long
I feel like I never even knew you
you know all those years
I didn’t really mean to slow you down
and now you’re traveling
between the two coasts
seems like a long way to go
just for a chat with your ghosts
don't let em bring you down
don't ever let em catch you frown

well, my friend
you seem found and I seem lost
I'll give you an answer if you pay the cost
in this land you don't get nothing unless you ask
and when you give your love
sometimes, you'll get it back

I wouldn’t be surprised
if things were really much worse than you thought
I wouldn't be surprised
if you got everything except what you sought
I wouldn’t be surprised
if freedom, not peace was your life's lot

and the days wear on and I've no time to spare
I know the price of life is death
I'm in the dragons lair don't slow me down
Still we talked of you just the other night
with a vague sensation
things would never be right
still I won’t let my ghosts brings me down
I won’t ever let them catch me frown.
