Verse 1: There’s a highway running through me All blacktop and old regrets Streetlights flicker in the distance Like the things I can’t forget I keep driving past the places Where we used to waste our time But every mile just pulls me backwards To the night you said goodbye Pre-Chorus: I swear I see your shadow Every time I close my eyes Like you’re still sitting beside me In the middle of the night Chorus: You’re a ghost in the rearview Always just out of reach No matter how far I drive You keep catching up to me I still hear your voice Somewhere between the radio and the rain You’re a ghost in the rearview And I can’t drive away Verse 2: There’s an old motel off Exit 9 That still leaves the light on late And every time I pass that sign I still think about your face Everybody says keep moving Like there’s nothing left to lose But I still feel you in the silence Like I’m carrying you too Pre-Chorus: I swear I see your shadow Every time I close my eyes Like you’re still sitting beside me In the middle of the night Chorus: You’re a ghost in the rearview Always just out of reach No matter how far I drive You keep catching up to me I still hear your voice Somewhere between the radio and the rain You’re a ghost in the rearview And I can’t drive away Bridge: Maybe some people never leave you Maybe some things don’t fade Maybe you just learn to live with ghosts Instead of letting them go away Final Chorus: You’re a ghost in the rearview Always just out of reach No matter how far I drive You keep catching up to me I still hear your voice Somewhere between the radio and the rain You’re a ghost in the rearview And I can’t drive away
