Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Your jacket’s still hanging on the same old chair

Coffee cup ring on the counter there

Talk to the air like you might answer me

Swear I hear your keys by the door at three

Bills in your name stacked by the kitchen sink

Voice in my head says “you’re fine

” I don’t think

Every room feels staged

Like a TV scene

I’m stuck in the take where you didn’t leave

[Chorus]

I’m driving with a ghost in the passenger seat

Eyes on the road

But you’re all that I see

If I say your name enough

Will you breathe?

This can’t be real

This can’t be real to me

I keep slamming on the brakes

But I can’t wake up

World keeps moving

I keep staying stuck

If I tear this sky

Will you fall back to me?

I’m living in a world where you didn’t leave

[Verse 2]

Your boots by the door

Dust on every lace

I leave them turned out like you’ll need that space

Mom keeps asking if I’m doing okay

I just bite my tongue so I won’t say

I see you in crowds

In the bend of a back

In the way someone laughs

In the way they stand slack

My phone lights up and I still half expect

Your name to flash like you never left

[Chorus]

I’m driving with a ghost in the passenger seat

Eyes on the road

But you’re all that I see

If I say your name enough

Will you breathe?

This can’t be real

This can’t be real to me

I keep slamming on the brakes

But I can’t wake up

World keeps moving

I keep staying stuck

If I tear this sky

Will you fall back to me?

I’m living in a world where you didn’t leave

[Bridge]

[Half-time

Guitars drop to a low drone]

Tell me this is just a bad cut scene (wake me up)

Roll it back

Splice you back into my days

Every mirror shows a stranger’s face

Yours in the glass

Then it melts away

I punch the wall just to feel something (feel something)

Knuckles bleed like it might rewind time

If grief is a place

I’m nailed to the floor

You’re on the other side of that locked door

[Breakdown]

(screamed)

I won’t say goodbye

I won’t sign your name in stone

If this is reality

I choose my own

[Chorus]

I’m driving with a ghost in the passenger seat

Hands on the wheel

But I’m losing my grip on me

If I scream your name enough

Will you breathe?

This can’t be real

This can’t be real to me

I keep slamming on the brakes

But I can’t wake up

World keeps moving

I keep staying stuck

If I tear this sky

Will you fall back to me?

I’m trapped inside the life

Where you didn’t leave (where you didn’t leave)
