Car still smells like you, a ghost in leather
Your playlist hits — couldn’t be better
Laughs on loop, they don’t fade
I hear them when I change the lane
Empty seat but full of noise
Like you’re talking ‘bout our favorite toys
Windows down, but you're still near
Like your voice lives in the rear
Every red light takes me back
To stories, songs, and midnight snacks
You said, “Don’t forget this street”
Now it's just me and your heartbeat
There’s an echo in my backseat
Even though there’s no repeat
You’re not here but I still hear
Your smile in every gear
Echo in my backseat
You’re the song I can’t delete
Even silence sounds like you
In the rearview, still in view
I talk aloud like you’ll respond
Like I’m still stuck in our bond
Pulling over just to breathe
But you echo back with ease
I drive fast to outrun you
But memory's always in cruise
Even the tires hum your name
In the rhythm, you remain
There’s an echo in my backseat
Of things we said, offbeat and sweet
Ghosted turns and neon signs
Still replay our better times
Echo in my backseat
Fade won’t come, you’re on repeat
Guess goodbye’s not quite complete
When your echo rides with me
