[Intro] [Verse 1] You watched it all again last night The same old show with the same old light They brought it back and charged you twice And you were there, you paid the price You know the words before they're sung You've been this age since you were young The posters faded on your wall But you can't let it go at all [Pre-Chorus] And somewhere in the dark you swear You felt it like you used to feel Like everything was almost real [Chorus] How slowly does the past come back to haunt you How slowly does the dream begin to fray You're dancing with a ghost that never loved you And calling it the best of yesterday [Verse 2] You queued for hours in the rain To see the same three chords again They're older now, they look it too But god, they sound like '92 The singer's got a different face But hits his mark and takes his place And for three minutes you believe In everything you used to need [Pre-Chorus] And somewhere in the noise you swear You felt it like you used to feel Like everything was almost real [Chorus] How slowly does the past come back to haunt you How slowly does the dream begin to fray You're dancing with a ghost that never loved you And calling it the best of yesterday [Bridge] It wasn't even that good then You know it wasn't, back when The world felt new and full of clues And you had nothing left to lose And now you're humming this one too Because it sounds like something you Already heard, already knew Already lost, already you [Chorus] How slowly does the past come back to haunt you How slowly does the dream begin to fray You're dancing with a ghost that never loved you And calling it the best of yesterday [Outro]
