[Verse 1]
You pulled up
Headlights off at the edge of town
Boots on the dash
Laughing like we’d never come down
Pocket full of plans
All scribbled on motel sheets
You said, “Trust me
I was born to bite the heat”
[Chorus]
We’re just ghosts on a shadow ride
Wrong side of the borderline
You’re my fire, I’m your alibi
Looking holy in a crooked lie
Every saint has a darker side
Every kiss like a warning sign
If they’re asking
We were never there that night
[Verse 2]
Smoke in your hair
Lipstick on my rearview glass
You change your name
Every time the sirens pass
You pray in the dark
With your boots on my tangled legs
Halo in your eyes
And a match between your teeth
[Chorus]
We’re just ghosts on a shadow ride
Wrong side of the borderline
You’re my fire, I’m your alibi
Looking holy in a crooked lie
Every saint has a darker side
Every kiss like a warning sign
If they’re asking
We were never there that night
[Bridge]
You say “Don’t slow down
They only catch the ones who wait”
I watch you light a cigarette
Like you’re blessing all our mistakes
Are you saving me
Or dragging me down?
(So tell me)
Are we running free
Or just circling the ground?
[Chorus]
We’re just ghosts on a shadow ride
Wrong side of the borderline
You’re my fire, I’m your alibi
Looking holy in a crooked lie
Every saint has a darker side
Every kiss like a warning sign
If they’re asking
We were never there that night
