Trying to paint a picture of grief
does it hold together... that is, can you see it?

Somebody else's casserole dish
.. And stuck on lasagna
Somebody else's so sorry for this
.. And I'm prayin' on ya
Somebody else's car in your spot
Somebody else's damn name I forgot
But it's my rain'
My storm, and my ocean
It's my pain
That's keepin' me goin'
Sailin' rough seas
Toward a cold rocky coast
I'm not chasing peace, I'm not chasing hope
I'm not chasing peace, I'm not chasing hope
I'm chasin' your ghost
It's somebody else's arms around me
…and soft voice in my ear
Somebody else's bad joke and poor timing
…I pretend not to hear
It's somebody else checkin' scores on their phone
It's somebody else leavin' me all alone
But it's my rain'
My storm, and my ocean
It's my pain
That's keepin' me goin'
Sailin' rough seas
Toward a cold rocky coast
I'm not chasing peace, I'm not chasing hope
I'm not chasing peace, I'm not chasing hope
I'm chasin' your ghost
It's your pillow, that I want to lay on
It's your perfume, that I want to taste
It's your memory, that I want to cling to
What I'd give just to wipe tears from your face
But it's my rain'
My storm, and my ocean
It's my pain
That's keepin' me goin'
Sailin' rough seas
Toward a cold rocky coast
I'm not chasing peace, I'm not chasing hope
I'm all out of peace, I'm all out of hope
I'm chasin' your ghost

Hi Michael,
Good work on this song! I noticed that the lyrics provided are slightly different than what you sang. Maybe update the printed form to match the recording.
The lyrics are good, however I would only sing “I’m not chasing peace, I’m not chasing hope” once instead of twice in the chorus.
Good work!
