Ghost in the Passenger Seat

[Verse 1] I turn the ignition, the radio plays A song that we used to scream back in the days I reach for your hand but my fingers find air Just a jacket you left on the passenger chair The rain on the windshield is blurring the street And the silence beside me is heavy and sweet I remember the last time we drove through this town We were shouting at nothing, just tearing it down. [Chorus] Now you’re a ghost in the passenger seat And I’m driving in circles on a one-way street I’d give every memory, I’d burn every bridge To hear you complain about the cold on the ridge Come back and scream at me, break all my glass Just don't let this drive be the one where we pass. [Verse 2] I think of the words that I threw like a stone The petty complaints when we felt so alone How stupid they look in the light of the red The monstrous weight of the things left unsaid If I knew that the pavement was leading to this I’d have choked on my pride for the sake of your kiss Now the static is loud and the dashboard is dim And the cup in the holder is filled to the brim. [Chorus] Now you’re a ghost in the passenger seat And I’m driving in circles on a one-way street I’d give every memory, I’d burn every bridge To hear you complain about the cold on the ridge Come back and scream at me, break all my glass Just don't let this drive be the one where we pass. [Guitar Solo] [Emotional, soaring, distorted guitar solo] [Outro] The seatbelt is clicking. The wipers are slow. Where do I turn when there’s nowhere to go? Just an empty space where you used to be. [Soft acoustic strum, fade out]
