Gillian Welch - Unfinished Business

Thought I'd be over this by now
With all these reminders I don't know how
Our boxes of our old scraps
I dust 'em off and I put 'em back
Oh I know it's wrong to keep hanging on
The time has come and I'll take care of
Some unfinished business
It's like draggin' a rock around
Unfinished business
Lookin' back just slows me down
If I rid myself of you
There'll be room for someone new
When I'm finally down with this unfinished business

Can't say just why we fell apart
Old questions linger like ghosts in the dark
But savin' memories like nickels and dimes
But it still won't buy me peace of mind
'Cause my heart don't know how to let you go
And the days go slow until I can take care of
This unfinished business
It's like draggin' a rock around
Unfinished business
Lookin' back just slows me down
If I rid myself of you
There'll be room for someone new
When I'm finally done with this unfinished business

I'm gonna build the fire
Burn these boxes, one by one
When your ghost goes up in smoke
I'll finally be done
With this unfinished business
I been draggin' a rock around
Unfinished business
Lookin' back just slows me down
Gonna rid myself of you
There'll be room for someone new
When I'm finally done with this unfinished business
Unfinished business
Unfinished business
