Ghosts in the Rearview

Social Media: https://linktr.ee/shunaiart Lyrics: (Intro – spoken/sung, filtered vocals) Fog on the glass… whisper and fade… Everything I left behind, everything I made… (Verse 1) Streetlights cut through a velvet sky Dashboard glow and a hollow goodbye There’s a shadow sitting in the back of my mind Wearing your face, frozen in time Radio static, a voice I knew Saying all the things we never got to undo (Pre-Chorus) I could pull over, let the memory inside Or keep my foot down, let the distance decide (Chorus) They’re ghosts in the rearview, pale and fast Echoes of a love that was never gonna last Flicker in the mirror when I’m trying to drive through Can’t outrun the ghosts in the rearview Ghosts in the rearview (Verse 2) Rain on the windscreen, rhythm like a song You’re the ache that I’ve been chasing far too long Every exit sign’s a chance to turn around But I don’t, I just drown in the sound Your silhouette caught in the high-beam glare I still feel your hand like a cold night air (Pre-Chorus) I could pull over, let the memory inside Or keep my foot down, let the distance decide (Chorus) They’re ghosts in the rearview, pale and fast Echoes of a love that was never gonna last Flicker in the mirror when I’m trying to drive through Can’t outrun the ghosts in the rearview Ghosts in the rearview (Bridge – stripped back, building tension) The road runs black, the years roll by But your ghost keeps pace on the passenger side I roll the window down, let the cold rush in But the chill on my neck is the same as it’s always been Always been… (Chorus – explosive, full production) They’re ghosts in the rearview, burning bright Wreckage of a heart in the taillight light Flicker in the mirror when I’m trying to push through Can’t outrun the ghosts in the rearview No, can’t outrun the ghosts in the rearview (Outro – fading, synth wash) Ghosts in the rearview… Fading like a scar, but never really far… Ghosts in the rearview… (whispered) I still see you.
