Musically, the song features a somewhat lighter tone than other songs on the album except for the much heavier and darker bridge. The song’s lyrics are about mortality, reminiscing past memories, and “coming to terms with the fact that time will go on.”
[Verse 1]
The misery I know
Like a friend that won't let go
Is creeping up on me now once again
So I sing this song tonight
To the ghost that will not die
And somehow it seems to haunt me till the end
[Chorus]
Do you feel the same
For what was remained
Yesterday is gone, we can't go back again
Do you ever cry
For the ghost of days gone by
[Verse 2]
I remember summer days
We were young and unafraid
With innocence we'd glide beneath the stars
It seems so long ago
Beyond the life that I now know
Before the years would have their way and break my heart
[Chorus]
Do you feel the same
For what was remained
Yesterday is gone, we can't go back again
Do you ever cry
For the ghost of days gone by
[Bridge]
And I know it's drawing closer
With each day I feel the end
I... don't wanna die
Don't wanna die, don't wanna die
I don't wanna die
[Guitar solo]
[Chorus]
Do you feel the same
For what was remained
Yesterday is gone, we can't go back again
Do you ever cry
For the days gone by
Do they haunt you like a ghost until the end
[Outro]
Haunt you 'til the end
Until the end
Until the end
Until the end
