Ghosts in my headlights 2 (version 2)

Verse

Tail lights in the mist where you went away

Headlights catch a ghost that I still play

Four years lost but I can still see your eyes

Burning like fire through the neon skies

The road stretches out and I'm back behind

Where our story started, where we left it all behind

Dust on my boots, salt in my hair

I don't know why you're gone, I don't know if I care

Pre-Chorus

So what's holding me here? Is it just the past?

Is it still your laugh that I hear at last?

Chorus

Ghosts in my headlights, they light up the night

I'm chasing shadows of what we left behind tonight

If I drive slow enough maybe you'll come back to me

Where are you now, is that the engine I hear?

Verse 2

You said forever was a country road

Now your number's gone and I'm left with nothing to hold

The odometer ticks but it don't move the miles

Cause every town I pass through looks just like your smile

I know it sounds crazy but I still feel you here

Like your hand on my knee, like we never said goodbye, dear

We made some noise when we drove off into the sun

Now I'm driving solo and the only one I've run

Pre-Chorus

So what's holding me here? Is it just the past?

Is it still your laugh that I hear at last?

Chorus

Ghosts in my headlights, they light up the night

I'm chasing shadows of what we left behind tonight

If I drive slow enough maybe you'll come back to me

Where are you now, is that the engine I hear?

Bridge

Maybe forever's not a place at all

Maybe it's just the two of us on this darkened road after all

I don't know where you went but I know where I stand

If your ghost wants my headlights then they're here in hand

Chorus

Ghosts in my headlights, they light up the night

I'm chasing shadows of what we left behind tonight

If I drive slow enough maybe you'll come back to me

Where are you now, is that the engine I hear?
