Ghosts in the Rearview Mirror (Riku Nagata After Time Theme)

I crossed the line The crowd screamed my name Neon lights above my head But nothing felt the same Everybody said I won Said I reached the top at last But standing in that victory I was staring at the past Connor should have been here Laughing with a drink in hand Telling me I drove too fast Like he'd always understand And the Aldecaldos The fire that raised my soul Are just fading headlights now Disappearing down the road I keep looking in the rearview Searching through the rain For the faces that I loved But they never come again Ghosts in the rearview mirror Following me home Every mile another memory Every road more alone Ghosts in the rearview mirror Still riding by my side Maybe they never left me Maybe they just learned to hide My mother crossed the horizon Chasing some forgotten sky Too far for me to follow Too far to ask her why And Honda All those years I cursed his name Now every answer that I wanted Only brought a different pain Blood can build a family Blood can tear one apart But the people who stay with you Live forever in your heart Carmen still walks beside me Through the wreckage and the smoke Like a light refusing darkness Like a promise never broke Ghosts in the rearview mirror Following me home Every mile another memory Every road More alone Ghosts in the rearview mirror Still riding by my side Maybe they never left me Maybe they just learned to hide I used to drive for glory I used to drive for pride Now I drive because they can't And I carry them inside Every lesson Connor gave me Every laugh beneath the stars Every mile the clan once traveled Every scar became my heart If the road should finally end And the engine loses flame Tell them I kept moving forward Tell them I remembered every name Ghosts in the rearview mirror One last time tonight I can see them in the distance Beneath the city lights Ghosts in the rearview mirror No longer make me cry Because every road I travel Keeps their memory alive And when the dawn finally finds me Beyond the rain and neon blue I'll keep driving toward tomorrow For every one of you...
