about

"a song that drifts between dreams and memories, talking of both loss and the ongoing influence people have on our lives, long after they have shuffled off" —For The Rabbits

lyrics

I have no time for ghosts
They've nothing to say to me
Nothing that should not better be forgotten
It could be a pattern in the wind
Or maybe a broken branch in the yard

So if I fall asleep and if I should dream of you
It would not mean anything
The people in my dreams are all dead (to me)

So...

If you want to come inside and stay a while
You don't have to worry that it only was a dream
I am coming clean
I am new

I am new
I am new
If they come, what will you do?
You might try pretending you don't see them
You might try pretending they're not there
They are new
They are new
