Maybe Next Time

"Maybe Next Time" is a song featured in the final episode of The Ghost and Molly McGee. It is sung by Scratch after he remembers that he and Adia spent their childhood going on imaginary adventures together, but upon growing up, Adia went on adventures for real while Scratch stayed home and read letters from her. Having grown hopelessly depressed, he became a wraith and had been haunting Brighton ever since.

Lyrics

I never went

I stayed at home

While she was carping diem

I was playing on my phone

I was too afraid to go away

Maybe next time, I would say

I played it safe

I took no chances

I had no stories

No adventures

No romances

I would make plans, but cancel or delay

I can't make it

Maybe next time, I would say

She'd be on a surfboard

Riding on a swell

I'd be on the sofa eating nachos by myself

On the one hand, there were very tasty nachos

Lots of spice

But on the other hand

I wasted my whole life

So, there is that

She'd always call

I never come

She risked it all

When I went numb

Watching on my screen from a thousand miles away

Her somewhere in China

Me at some Chinese buffet

So afraid of dying that I never that I never lived a day

Every time

Maybe next time, I would say

Mmm...

Until the time when my soul just slipped away
