I can see her standing across from our building
As she makes her way home
She puts her hand in her pocket and pulls out her mobile
But she doesn't answer her phone

She takes a step off the curb and onto the road
Then she turns on her heels and she leaves
Makes her way back up to the station
I guess she's got some place to be

She'll take the I train
The long way home again
She can't handle her and me arguing, breathing the same air
walking on eggshells and acting like we still care

Let's give up the ghost my dear
We've been fighting it too many years
Let's give up the ghost my dear
We've got nowhere to go from here

I walk past the church and the theatre
I take a left up on Boulevard
I'm trying my best to make sense of this mess
But I never seem to get far

The snow's coming down in a flurry
And I'm freezing on the inside
I can see her standing next to our car
Lord knows I can't handle that ride

So I'll take the I train
The long way home again
Can't handle her and me arguing, breathing the same air
Walking on eggshells and acting like we still care

Let's give up the ghost my dear
We've been fighting it too many years
Let's give up the ghost my friend
We've got no more time to spend

Can't handle her and me arguing, breathing the same air
Walking on eggshells and acting like we still care

Let's give up the ghost my dear
We've got nowhere to go from here
