Phantom Regret
You’re turned in to dawn fmThe middle of nowhere on your dialSo sit back and unpack
You may be here awhileNow that all future plans have been postponedAnd it’s time to look back on the thingsYou thought you ownedDo you remember them well?Were you high or just stoned?
And how many grudges did you take to your grave?When you weren’t liked or followed, how did you behave?Was it often a dissonant chord you were strumming?Were you ever in tune with the song life was humming?
If pain’s living on when your body’s long goneAnd your phantom regret hasn’t let it go yetYou may not have died in the way that you mustAll specters are haunted by their own lack of trust
When you’re all out of time, there’s nothing but spaceNo hunting, no gatheringNo nations, no raceAnd heaven is closer than those tears on your faceWhen the purple rain fallsWe are all bathed in it’s grace
Heaven’s for those who let go of regretAnd you have to wait here when you’re not all there yetBut you could be there by the end of this songWhere the weeknd’s so good and he plays all week longBang a gong, get it onAnd if your broken heart’s heavy when you step on the scaleYou’ll be lighter than air when they pull back the vailConsider the flowers, they don’t try to look rightThey just open their petals and turn to the lightAre you listening real close?Heaven’s not that, it’s thisIt’s the depth of this momentWe don’t reach for blissGod knows life is chaosBut he made one thing trueYou gotta unwind your mindTrain your soul to alignAnd dance ‘til you find that divine boogaloo
In other wordsYou gotta be heaven, to see heavenMay peace be with you
Watch now
