[Intro – Spoken, ambient echo fx] I kept your seatbelt buckled… Still hear you laughin’ when the static hits. Some folks fade— But not like this. --- [Verse 1 – mellow guitar beat starts] We were gas tank dreams and midnight songs, Chasin' forever, like we couldn't be wrong. Your hoodie’s still ridin’ the passenger side, Still smells like rain and cherry 5s. Fries sittin’ cold, two ketchup packs, I buy your order like you comin’ back. The world moved on, but I held the lane, With your voice in my head like a steady refrain. --- [Pre-Chorus – light piano and sub-bass enters] Every red light feel like a sign, Like the sky holdin’ time for you and I. Can't let go, not just yet— This ride still holdin’ all my regret. --- [Chorus – melodic, strong hook] Just one more drive where the silence talks, Where your ghost still rides and the traffic stops. Laughin' at fate like we owned the night, Now I’m talkin’ to shadows in neon light. Hands on the wheel, but my soul don’t fight, Still pullin’ over at the long red light. --- [Verse 2 – light drums kick in, midtempo] Pulled up slow to your mama's block, Where we carved our names in the mailbox lock. Neighbors nod, but they don’t know, I'm here to feel what I won’t let show. Old iPod skips to your fav track, Damn, it still slaps—I play it back. Got one voice playin’ over the pain, “Bro, you good?” Nah, I just rain. --- [Pre-Chorus – softer] Ain’t no GPS for a road like this, When the past hits hard and the future dips. Still feel you close when the engine hums, Still tellin’ jokes that only you’d get, bruh. --- [Chorus 2 – fuller sound] Just one more ride where the stars align, Your laugh in the breeze, that cosmic sign. Still wildin’ out in my midnight mind, Like you just ran in to grab some Sprite. Yeah, I still pause when the brake light’s bright, Still hear you sing at the long red light. --- [Breakdown – stripped back, deep emotional punch. Heartbeat kick, raw vocals] Do you laugh when I curse the sky? Do you ride with me when I drive too high? If I stall on life, will you push me through? Still waitin' on signs that you send me too. You the echo in rooms that I fake a smile, The reason I park and stare a while… --- [Final Chorus – big & cinematic] One more ride where your name holds weight, Where the tears hit hard but it ain’t too late. We built a bond that won’t unwind, You still my compass, my peace of mind. So I ride slow with the world behind, Still see you smilin’ at the long red light. --- [Outro – spoken, fading out] Ain’t goodbye, not yet... This light just takin’ its time. I’ll see you again— When the green aligns.
