Midnight highway dashboard glow,
radio low, driving slow.
I still check my right hand side,
like you're there for the ride.
Coffee stain on the console,
little things that took a toll.
Every mile just feels too long since you've been gone.
That empty passenger seat still feels like you next to me.
Every turn, every street
brings back who we used to be.
I talk to you like you stay,
but silence answers me.
Yeah, love moved out quite in,
left an empty passenger seat.
Your jacket's gone from the back,
but I still smell your laugh.
I replay words we said,
things I wish I never learned.
I thought time would close the door,
but my heart keeps asking for more.
I'm learning how to let you go,
but damn it's slow.
That empty passenger seat still feels like you next to me.
Every turn, every street
brings back who we used to be.
I talk to you like you stay,
but silence answers me.
Yeah,
love moved out quite in,
left an empty passenger seat.
Maybe someday I won't reach out.
Maybe someday I won't look around.
But tonight the road remembers you and so do I.
That empty passenger seat is teaching me how to be free.
I'll drive on eventually,
scars and memories.
Love didn't lose,
it just moved.
It left a space in me.
Yeah, I'll heal,
but honestly,
that seat still feels like you and me.
