Ghosts Of The 3rd Wheel (Version 2)

Verse 1 – Male Vocal

Bought you flowers at the old drive-in

Sat with your friend till the neon quit and we said our goodbyes that time

You smiled right through the window shade like it was nothing more than a summer cloud

But I saw something in those hazel eyes that made me want to ride the whole damn town

Pre-Chorus

Now your smile keeps coming back to me in dreams

And I'm chasing down the ghosts of who we used to be

Chorus – Male & Female

It's not you, it's me, they always say it is

But what if the one that got away was this whole damn life?

I'm still driving 'til the sun comes up over these same old roads

Trying to outrun the ghost of our one good go

Verse 2 – Female Vocal

Your name came up in a crowded room full of strangers and cheap beer

And for one second, I felt that spark we used to share

But it was just a memory playing on repeat like an old record on a turntable floor

I knew right then that I still had something left to explore

Pre-Chorus

Now your smile keeps coming back to me in dreams

And I'm chasing down the ghosts of who we used to be

Chorus – Male & Female

It's not you, it's me, they always say it is

But what if the one that got away was this whole damn life?

I'm still driving 'til the sun comes up over these same old roads

Trying to outrun the ghost of our one good go

Bridge – Male & Female

Maybe I don't need a second chance to move on

Maybe it's just me learning how to say goodbye without that hollow thrum

It's not you, it's me

But what if this time, it really was you?

Chorus – Male & Female

It's not you, it's me, they always say it is

But what if the one that got away was this whole damn life?

I'm still driving 'til the sun comes up over these same old roads

Trying to outrun the ghost of our one good go
