If You Will Lyrics

All that ever passed for a voice

Were excuses drawn out

Of fear pride and doubt

Then soon enough he learned to pay the rent

With tunes half a century old

But in modern tongue the classics are gold

Call it AWOL if you will

But he's tired of indulging in nostalgic thrill

Incarcerated ghost riding a groove

With an ear preferring something new

Then late at night he's still wondering how

Noises dribble from his mouth

Twisting contrary winds abound

The creation of an impossible course

No compass, no sunlight

Just staggering indecision on which one to hold on to

Call it AWOL if you will

But he's tired of indulging in nostalgic thrill

Incarcerated ghost riding a groove

With an ear preferring something new

Would you keep so still

If you knew this was the end

Would you be so still

If this was as good as it gets

Crosstown gold will burn

Straight through a lingering ghost

Crosstown gold will burn

Straight through a lingering ghost

Call it AWOL if you will

But he's tired of indulging in nostalgic thrill

Incarcerated ghost riding a groove

With an ear, an ear, an ear

Preferring something new
