Verse 1
Headlights cut the midnight air
But the past is riding there
Every memory in the glass
Like shadows of a shattered past
Empty highway, faded lines
Every mile rewinds my mind
Every road I try to choose
Still leads me back to what I lose
⸻
Verse 2
Every word I wish I changed
Every life I rearranged
Every bridge I burned too fast
Still chasing me through the past
I hear voices in the wind
Of who I was and where I’ve been
Every silence gets so loud
When regrets start gathering clouds
⸻
Chorus
Ghosts in the rearview riding in the night
Every mistake in the red tail lights
Every broken memory leaves a scar
And every mile shows who we are
Ghosts in the rearview whisper in my ear
Every regret still standing here
No matter where I try to go
The past is something I still know
⸻
Verse 3
Gas gauge low, the night runs cold
Another story left untold
I tried to bury what I’ve done
But shadows rise with the sun
The faces flicker in the glass
Like echoes of a burning past
I try to outrun every sin
But they’re riding right beside me again
⸻
Bridge
Maybe forgiveness takes its time
Maybe redemption’s just a climb
Maybe the scars are meant to stay
To remind me I survived the flames
Maybe the road I’m driving on
Was never meant to be alone
⸻
Chorus
Ghosts in the rearview riding in the night
Every mistake in the red tail lights
Every broken memory leaves a scar
And every mile shows who we are
Ghosts in the rearview whisper my name
Every regret still feeds the flame
No matter where I try to run
The past is never really done
⸻
Breakdown (quiet grunge section)
The engine hums like a broken prayer
The darkness breathing everywhere
But somewhere past the endless road
There’s a place to lay this heavy load
⸻
Final Chorus (big emotional ending)
Ghosts in the rearview fading from sight
Slowly dissolving in morning light
Every mistake helped shape the man
Standing where he now can stand
Ghosts in the rearview losing their hold
Turning the pain into something bold
The past may follow where I roam
But it no longer owns my road
⸻
Outro
Sunrise breaking through the glass
Finally leaving the past
The ghosts still linger far away
But they fade a little more each day.
