Ghost Ride by DCBROOKS - Zona

Lyrics

[808s solo]

[Intro – tone: hazy, nostalgic, late-night loneliness]

Said it wasn’t love—just a moment

Now I'm stuck in it like you own it

All your words, I replay 'til they're broken

Now I ghost ride through the motions

---

[Verse 1 – tone: soft regret, emotional distance]

I don't blame you, you were honest

You just smiled... I made it promise

Every touch felt like a warning

Every kiss hit like a warning

I was drive-thru love, quick fix high

You were bored, and I was nearby

Now the silence tastes like you

In every room, in every view

---

[Pre-Chorus – tone: surreal, aching uncertainty]

I let you steer, no hands on me

Now I’m crashing through memories

You said "Don’t make this deep," but you lied

Now I’m stuck with what you left inside

---

[Chorus – tone: longing, bittersweet acceptance]

Now I ghost ride every night alone

You were test drive love, now the thrill is gone

You don’t check in, but I still don’t move

Like the road’s still shaped like you

I ghost ride every breath I take

You pulled off clean, I hit the brakes

You were never mine, just borrowed time

But damn, I wish you’d lied

---

[Verse 2 – tone: cold reflection, restrained sorrow]

I still feel your hair on my jacket

Still got your name in a song I scrapped

You were heat in a cold flat

Now I’m freeze-framed, can’t play it back

You said, “This ain’t fate—it’s just tension”

I mistook that weight for intention

Now I drink just to numb that mention

Of your name—it still cuts in sections

---

[Pre-Chorus – tone: emotional turbulence, internal conflict]

I let you steer, no hands on me

You were gone before I could breathe

You said, “Don’t fall in,” but I dove

Now I’m stuck beneath the undertow

---

[Final Chorus – tone: emotional release, weary closure]

Now I ghost ride every night alone

You were test drive love, now the thrill is gone

You don’t check in, but I still don’t move

Like the road’s still shaped like you

I ghost ride every word you said

You're not here, but you rent my head

You were never mine, just borrowed time

But fuck... I called you mine

---

[Outro – tone: empty, fading into silence]

Hands off the wheel

Eyes on the past

I was the crash

You just passed
