Red Lights In My Rearview (Acoustic Session #2)

[Verse 1] I drove past your street last night Same cracked curb Same old porch light But your shadow wasn’t in the window this time Empty seat where your jacket sat Coffee stain on the faded mat Radio on, but it couldn’t talk back So I did [Chorus] You’re a ghost in my passenger side Red lights in my rearview, still I drive Taught me how to crash and call it love How to bleed and say it’s fine You moved on like I was just a rumor I’m still tracing every lie You’re a ghost in my passenger side But this car, this heart, they’re mine [Verse 2] All our friends picked a side this week Group chat quiet when your name leaks Guess the truth always swims up from the deep Even when you push it down You said “forever” in the parking lot Then shared that line with a different shot I learned the taste of being forgot In one night [Chorus] You’re a ghost in my passenger side Red lights in my rearview, still I drive Taught me how to crash and call it love How to bleed and say it’s fine You moved on like I was just a rumor I’m still tracing every lie You’re a ghost in my passenger side But this car, this heart, they’re mine [Bridge - Rap] [low vocal register] You were all sharp teeth in a velvet smile Said you “needed space” but you meant “new trial” Had a backup plan with a bedroom grin Changed the sheets, kept the same old sin Told me I’m “too much,” then you drink too much Dial my phone at 3 a.m. for a hollow touch You compare her to me like a private game But you flinch, every time she says my name You fed me crumbs, called it banquet season Gaslit every instinct, every honest reason Now your pretty little stories got plot holes, babe And I climbed out the ending that you thought you paved [whispered vocals] You don’t get to write my ruin [Verse 3] So I’m cutting you out of my rearview glass Every mile, every minute, I’m taking me back If you see me at the bar, don’t wave You’re not brave You’re just past [Chorus] You’re a ghost in my passenger side Red lights in my rearview, still I drive Taught me how to crash and call it love How to bleed and say it’s fine You moved on like I was just a rumor I’m still tracing every lie You’re a ghost in my passenger side But this car, this heart, they’re mine [Chorus] You’re a ghost in my passenger side Red lights in my rearview, still I drive Taught me how to crash and call it love How to bleed and say it’s fine You moved on like I was just a rumor I’m still tracing every lie You’re a ghost in my passenger side But this car, this heart, they’re mine [Outro] Now the seatbelt lies flat, no name I don’t shake when I hear yours sang Take the long way home, feel the sun on my hands You’re a ghost in a story I don’t live in again
