Verse
I remember nights on the highway, engine hummin' low
Radio cracklin', your hand on my knee as we go
Headlight catches snowdrift, turns it to gold for a second
We laugh at nothing 'cause laughter feels good with you like this
Your perfume on the air where the heater just blew
Every little town is full of lights but none are as true
You turn up the volume so we can sing along together
Now this old song's hitting me like it was written for us that winter
Pre-Chorus
Is that a ghost light burnin' in my rearview mirror?
Or just your smile, startin' to shimmer through the night sky
Chorus
Ghostlight on the wire and I see you still
Every mile we drove together like it's now, like it never stopped till
Ghosts are keepin' pace with headlights tonight
And I'm holdin' on tight, ghostlight on the wire
Verse
You were singin', 'I'll be back in spring' but I know you won't
Dust settles over everything that we leave behind
We pulled into a diner off some lonely little road
The waitress knew our story 'cause she'd seen it before with all the ones who left, came back, and stayed
Pre-Chorus
Is that a ghost light burnin' in my rearview mirror?
Or just your smile, startin' to shimmer through the night sky
Chorus
Ghostlight on the wire and I see you still
Every mile we drove together like it's now, like it never stopped till
Ghosts are keepin' pace with headlights tonight
And I'm holdin' on tight, ghostlight on the wire
Bridge
I don't need no closure when I see your face in the night
I just pull over 'fore I leave this road behind tonight
Breathe it deep like gasoline and smoke from a summer storm
You come back quiet as a whisper after all these years
Chorus
Ghostlight on the wire and I see you still
Every mile we drove together like it's now, like it never stopped till
Ghosts are keepin' pace with headlights tonight
And I'm holdin' on tight, ghostlight on the wire
