Lyrics

I can no longer
Hear the echoes
Of our laughter
Within those fields,where
I grew up

Still the sun cannot
Warm this face,as it did
How it felt
When I was so,very young

The ghosts of bad decisions
Have come for me
Have returned for me
To take me now

What I would not give
To hear the laughter again
Run through those fields
Feel the suns warmth across this face

I was eighteen,no ambitions
Absolutely no direction
Skipping school
Just living life

One will never think
In their younger years
That's the final moments
With the best friends
You will ever have

Now the ghosts of bad decisions
Have come for me
Have found, found
Where I've been hiding

What I would not give
To have those friends again
Relive that past
Maybe get,get a second chance

Had I known that
Those last words
That last sentence
Would have ended
With,I love you

Had I know that
Those were our last days
Our last moments
I would have told my dad,how I felt

Now,the ghosts of bad decisions
Are my afflictions
For these reflections
In this life

What I would not give
To see him standing there
With open arms
Saying son,how have you been

What I would not give
For one more sunset
One more heart to heart
For one more laugh with
One more yesterday

What I would not give
For one last spoken word
One more moment in time
One more final
Final goodbye
Final goodbye
