Ghosts on Concrete

Verse

I saw you dancing at the corner store

Your name written on a cigarette filter on the floor

You asked me for directions but I gave you my phone number instead

Now your shadow's moving across the parking lot line in my head

We haven't spoken in years but sometimes it feels like yesterday

I catch myself driving past your old neighborhood anyway

I don't know what we'd say or if the words would still feel true

But something in me won't let go of that ghost on concrete too

Pre-Chorus

Maybe I'm just chasing headlights

Hoping they'll land on your face again tonight

Chorus

Oh, ghosts on concrete, you're still walking by my door

I don't know if we'd catch up or collide on the highway floor

Ghosts on concrete, do you ever think of me?

Or am I just a memory that you can't let go free

Verse

Your sister moved away and left a note in your locker drawer

Said she's found someone new and don't waste your time anymore

You showed it to me like a badge of honor in the rain

I told you not to, but I kept watching for the sign

We'd talk about leaving this town behind

But the streets always seemed too narrow to divide

Your hand brushed against mine on the curb at night

And somehow the whole world felt twice as wide

Pre-Chorus

Maybe I'm just chasing headlights

Hoping they'll land on your face again tonight

Chorus

Oh, ghosts on concrete, you're still walking by my door

I don't know if we'd catch up or collide on the highway floor

Ghosts on concrete, do you ever think of me?

Or am I just a memory that you can't let go free

Bridge

We could drive out to where the lights are small and green

Catch the sunset over the fields where our stories used to be

No apologies needed for what we had in high school time

Just the sound of crickets, your smile, and maybe this will turn back around to find us somehow

Chorus

Oh, ghosts on concrete, you're still walking by my door

I don't know if we'd catch up or collide on the highway floor

Ghosts on concrete, do you ever think of me?

Or am I just a memory that you can't let go free
