Streetlights blur as I drive too slow
Playing songs you'll never know
The rearview holds more than streets
It's full of things I failed to keep
Your jacket's still on my front seat
Left there like a piece of me
Tried to move but I hit rewind
Stuck replaying every sign
Feels like I'm running in reverse
Chasing moments, making it worse
Every step I take just pulls me back
To your smile, your laugh, the things I lack
I'm spinning wheels on empty roads
Running in reverse to places closed
I thought by now I'd let you go
But late night thoughts don't work that slow
Scrolling through our frozen frames
Telling myself it's not the same
Your favorite song still fills this space
Though it plays at a different pace
I try to sing but lose the words
Like driving fast with tires burned
Feels like I'm running in reverse
Chasing moments, making it worse
Every step I take just pulls me back
To your smile, your laugh, the things I lack
I'm spinning wheels on empty roads
Running in reverse to places closed
Maybe someday the brakes will hold
And I'll stop chasing what's grown cold
But tonight this car won't turn around
Guess I'm lost where you're not found
Feels like I'm running in reverse
Chasing moments, making it worse
Every step I take just pulls me back
To your smile, your laugh, the things I lack
I'm spinning wheels on empty roads
Running in reverse where no one goes
