Blue

I still hear your voice through the static,
Like a spark that never burned out.
Every word we said — automatic,
Now they echo when I shut you out.
Been driving through the past too long,
Looking for a sign I missed.
Every road just feels all wrong,
Every song still sounds like this.
I keep saying I'm okay,
But I don't believe it half the time.
You're still written in my mistakes,
And I keep reading every line.
You're the ghost that I run into,
In the glow of the rearview.
Can't tell if it's real or déjà vu,
I'm still lost in the afterglow of you.
I don't know what else to do—
You're my echo in the blue.
Your name drips down the pavement,
Every time the sky turns gray.
You're the calm and the complication,
The reason I still hesitate.
Can't kill what's underneath the skin,
Some ghosts just learn to swim.
And every time I breathe you in,
It feels like starting over again.
I keep saying I'm okay,
But it's easier to lie.
Every time I turn away,
You're still somewhere in the night.
You're the ghost that I run into,
In the glow of the rearview.
Can't tell if it's real or déjà vu,
I'm still lost in the afterglow of you.
I don't know what else to do—
You're my echo in the blue.
Maybe love's just what we borrow,
Just long enough to fall apart.
But I'd still find you in tomorrow,
Even if I lost the start.
You're the ghost that I run into,
Still reflected in the view.
Can't tell if it's real or déjà vu,
I'm still lost in the afterglow of you.
If I fade, I'll fade with you—
My echo in the blue.
