Prompt / Lyrics
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.
