I had a pretty good relationship with Joshua But when he stopped being a good listener, I called it off My family never quite forgave me My friends, they never quite forgave me After the breakup, I was drinking whiskey heavily And going home with every pretty girl who'd look at me There's a time for misbehaving I was swimming far beyond the point of saving It came over me like a wave It came over me like a wave Don't save me It came over me like a wave It came over me like a wave Don't save me When finally I could emerge from my depraved pit My vision of the world had shed a layer of bullshit Thoughts resembled cars in traffic Problems suddenly seemed slapstick And though my time with Joshua is ancient history There are moments when his pearls of wisdom come to me My regrets are few and far between And though you'd think this might be one, I know the break was clean It came over me like a wave It came over me like a wave Don't save me It came over me like a wave It came over me like a wave Don't save me What could I do? I knew I was in love with a ghost What could I do? I knew I was in love with a ghost What could I do? I knew I was in love with a ghost What could I do? I knew I was in love with a ghost What could I do? I knew I was in love with a ghost What could I do? I knew I was in love with a ghost What could I do? I knew I was in love with a ghost What could I do? I knew I was in love with a ghost It came over me like a wave It came over me like a wave Don't save me It came over me like a wave It came over me like a wave Don't save me now It came over me like a wave, yeah It came over like a wave Don't save me now It came over me like a wave, yeah It came over me like a wave Don't save me
