Ghost on the Highway

(Soft humming, distant and airy)

Mmm-mmm, ooooh, ooooh

The sun’s settin’ slow on the valley below

Golden light, but I feel so cold

Your voice lingers like a song in the wind

But I can’t recall how it used to end

(Faint harmonies, building tension)

I still see your shadow in the passenger seat

Whisperin’ words that you left in the heat

(Ooooh, mmm-mmm, ooooh-oh)

Now I’m chasin’ ghosts on the highway

Tryna find pieces of you in the rain

I still hear your laughter in the thunder

But I know it won’t ever sound the same

Every road I take just leads me back

To the love we lost and the time we can’t get back

(Whoa-oh-oh, mmm-mmm, ooooh-oh)

The bottle’s half-full but it don’t fill the space

Between all the words we never could say

If I could rewrite the night that you left

I’d pull you close, I’d hold you again

(Soft, breathy "oooohs" under the lines, growing into a harmony)

But the past don’t bend and the clocks don’t wait

And I’m still alone with my old mistakes

(Ooooh, ooooh, mmm-mmm, ohhh-ohhh)

Now I’m chasin’ ghosts on the highway

Tryna find pieces of you in the rain

I still hear your laughter in the thunder

But I know it won’t ever sound the same

Every road I take just leads me back

To the love we lost and the time we can’t get back

(Whoa-oh-oh, ooooh, mmm-mmm, ohhh-ohhh)

(Humming, ghostly and distant)

Mmm-mmm, ooooh-oh, whoa-oh-oh

Maybe someday I’ll learn to let go

But tonight I drive, just me and my ghosts

(Mmm-mmm, ooooh-oh, ooooh-ohhh)

(Soft humming fades like a whisper in the wind)

The sun’s settin’ slow on the valley below

Golden light, but I feel so cold

(Mmm-mmm, ooooh, ooooh…)
