[Intro] [distorted electric guitar riff, driving drums] [Verse 1] [gritty female vocals] Empty road, little glass back on the floor Ash on the dash, names scratched into the door You said you'd ride then you ghosted my calls Now your lipstick shade still bleeds on these walls [Pre-Chorus] [bass guitar intensifies] Dark in my chest like the power went out Your jacket in the trunk still reeks of your doubt I circle the block, same scene, same view Every stop sign keeps spelling you [Chorus] [full band, anthemic vocals] You're the shadow in my rearview Always there when I speed through Every corner that I turn to I burn through, I burn through Say you're gone but you stay close In the smoke I see your ghost I can't outrun what I feel for you You're the shadow in my rearview [Post-Chorus] [clean guitar melody] You're the shadow in my rearview You're the shadow in my rearview [Verse 2] [palm-muted guitar] [melodic male vocals] I found your picture folded up inside my coat Tried to throw it out but I still keep it close Every city light just fades into your eyes Every highway line reminds me of your lies I swear I’m moving on, that’s what I tell myself But every memory keeps jumping off the shelf You left the keys but took the best part of me Now every mile I drive just pulls me back to where you’d be [Pre-Chorus] [electronic textures enter] Those missed texts, you appear in my head Like a late night dare I should fear instead If I killed that thought, would it kill this thrill? If I hit that brake, would you haunt me still? [Chorus] [distorted guitar power chords] You're the shadow in my rearview Always there when I speed through Every corner that I turn to I burn through, I burn through Say you're gone but you stay close In the smoke I see your ghost I can't outrun what I feel for you You're the shadow in my rearview [Outro] [vocal layers] [Outro] [vocal layers] You're the shadow in my rearview You're the shadow in my rearview [Final Outro – layered vocals + guitar swell] You're the shadow in my rearview You're the shadow in my rearview [final guitar chord rings out]
