Ghost In The Backseat

[Verse 1]
You pulled up late on a Tuesday
Coffee stains on your sleeve
Said
"I got lost in the side streets"
But I know what that means
You talk fast
Eyes on the rearview
Like something’s gaining speed
Name on your phone that you angle
So I can’t really see

[Chorus]
I’m a ghost in the backseat
While you’re driving through your past lives
You keep one hand on me
One hand dialing up your last try
If I disappeared
Right here
Into the night breeze
Would you even feel
The weight gone from your backseat

[Verse 2]
You laugh loud at the wrong time
Turn the volume up too high
Tell me stories from last summer
Leave the endings all implied
You say you hate being cornered
But you corner me with lies
Every "baby
You can trust me"
Has a flicker in your eyes

[Chorus]
I’m a ghost in the backseat
While you’re driving through your past lives
You keep one hand on me
One hand dialing up your last try
If I disappeared
Right here
Into the night breeze
Would you even feel
The weight gone from your backseat

[Bridge]
You miss exits
Blame the signs
But I’ve been watching
You cross the lines
Say my name
Like it’s just habit
Tell me
Tell me
Do you even have it

[Chorus]
I’m a ghost in the backseat
While you’re driving through your past lives
You keep one hand on me
One hand dialing up your last try
If I disappeared
Right here
Into the night breeze
Would you even feel
The weight gone from your backseat (oh)
Would you even feel
The weight gone from your backseat
