It’s been a couple years, but some nights still bring
The flash of your headlights like a ghost in the street
I tell myself I’m over it, I’ve moved on just fine
But your name still lingers at the edge of my mind
Do you ever take the long way home just to feel something real?
Does a song ever play that makes your hands slip on the wheel?
Do you ever take the long way home just to sit with the past?
Does a song ever play that makes your heart beat too fast?
Do you think of me like I think of you?
Do the memories hit when there’s nothing to do?
Does a cold beer taste like that summer we had?
Does a midnight drive ever bring it all back?
Or am I just a ghost in a story you tell—
Do you think of me when you’re lovin on someone else?
Do the memories hit you when you’re lyin there by yourself?
I still got that hoodie you left on my chair
Smells like old love, collecting dust as it just sits there
I tell my friends I don’t miss you at all
But I check my phone when the night starts to fall
I still take my coffee the way that you do
Still hum that one song that reminds me of you
And I swear I don’t mean to, but damn, it still hurts
When I hear your laugh in somebody’s words
I drive past your exit when I’m out late at night
Roll down the windows and don’t know why
Maybe I’m looking for something I lost
Or maybe I’m scared that you don’t think of me at all
Do you ever take the long way home just to feel something real?
Does a song ever play that makes your hands slip on the wheel?
Do you ever take the long way home just to sit with the past?
Does a song ever play that makes your heart beat too fast?
Do you think of me like I think of you?
Do the memories hit when there’s nothing to do?
Does a cold beer taste like that summer we had?
Does a midnight drive ever bring it all back?
Or am I just a ghost in a story you tell—
Do you think of me when you’re lovin on someone else?
Do the memories hit you when you’re lyin there by yourself?
Maybe it’s better if I never know
Maybe I’m stuck in the past alone
But if you ever wonder late at night…
Well, you’re not the only one wondering why
Do you think of me like I think of you?
Do the memories hit when there’s nothing to do?
Does a cold beer taste like that summer we had?
Does a midnight drive ever bring it all back?
Or am I just a ghost in a story you tell—
Do you think of me when you’re lovin on someone else?
Do the memories hit you when you’re lyin there by yourself?

It’s been a couple years, but some nights still bring
The flash of your headlights like a ghost in the street
