I still hear you laugh from the passenger seat
Like you never left, like we still meet
The air still smells like your shampoo
And the dumb playlist we fought through
Your hoodie's in a pile on the back
Along with all the stuff I never gave back
You said"we're fine" then disappeared
Now it's just your memory shifting gears
Now there's two ghosts in my car
One's you, the other's who we are
Driving nowhere, same old song
Still feels like you're singing along
And every red light feels too long
When all the good parts now are gone
I reach across but all I touch
Is air and things I miss too much
A ghost inside my car
A ghost inside my car
I talk out loud just to feel sane
Like you're beside me on this lane
Remember how we used to scream
At stupid jokes and broken dreams
I haven't cleaned the dashboard dust
Cause it still holds our stupid trust
And even though I'm driving solo
You haunt my mirrors like you don't know
There's two ghosts in my car
The past and the permanent scar
I'm stuck between what was and now
Still chasing you, but I don't know how
The glovebox hides your favorite gum
I leave it there yeah, I'm that dumb
I play your voice inside my mind
Like you just left but stayed behind
A ghost inside my car
A ghost inside my car
So maybe I'll just let it ride
Let these ghosts take the wheel tonight
I talk, they don't respond at all
But hey at least they never call
There's two ghosts in my car
We never made it very far
But every turn still feels like you
Still parked where we said we'd start new
And if this silence plays too loud
I'll hum your name and wear it proud
Cause even if you've gone too far
You're still a ghost inside my car
