Should’ve Dressed for the Event lyrics

[Verse 1]
You're the ghost of the younger you
As you float down the stairway
Catch your eye, you crack a smile
We sit and pine for a while
Down the drain, pour the coffee that
We didn't drink, too cold
Hear the girl in the stereo
Singing tunes from long ago

[Chorus]
Don't lie to me, my friend
Are we really at the end?
Should've dressed for the event
But I know we'll meet again
I'll wear something black and red
You'll apply my favorite scent
And if still, we both forget
Then I've loved you 'til the end

[Verse 2]
I'm the wraith of the younger me
As I joke to see you laughing
Hear the boy on the radio
As your gaze meets the door
[Chorus]
Don't lie to me, my friend
Are the waves upon the sand?
They may rip you from my hand
But I know we'll meet again
And I'll wear my darkest cape
You'll put on your finest lace
And if still, we should forget
Then I've loved you 'til the end
