Rearview Ghosts

Empty road

Dashboard glow on my hands

Lipstick stain on a coffee lid

Your name on the back of my plans

Blurred signs

Every mile feels the same

Talking back to the radio

Like it remembers your face

I’m racing my rearview ghosts

They’re gaining

They’re gaining

Swear I see you in the smoke

I’m fading

I’m fading

Headlights cut through all my doubts

Still I can’t outrun your shadow

I’m racing my rearview ghosts

Nowhere left to go

Cold glass

Finger tracing a crack

Every scar in the windshield

Another thing I can’t take back

Red eyes

From the thoughts I rewind

Can’t crash into you again

So I just floor it this time (this time)

I’m racing my rearview ghosts

They’re gaining

They’re gaining

Swear I see you in the smoke

I’m fading

I’m fading

Headlights cut through all my doubts

Still I can’t outrun your shadow

I’m racing my rearview ghosts

Nowhere left to go

Tell me if I hit the end

Will you be waiting there

My friend? (my friend)

Or am I talking to the dark

To the echo of a spark

I’m racing my rearview ghosts

They’re gaining

They’re gaining

Swear I see you in the smoke

I’m fading

I’m fading

Headlights cut through all my doubts

Still I can’t outrun your shadow

I’m racing my rearview ghosts

Nowhere left to go
