Echo Drift

It’s been years, but I still hear
Your engine howling in my ear
That final turn, that burning chase
Still plays in time I can't erase
The smell of smoke, the neon glare
The way we flew without a care
But only one was standing there
Echo drift, it haunts my ride
Like a ghost I can’t deny
Every tire mark you left behind
Is carved inside this heart of mine
Echo drift, you're not gone
You're the silence before the dawn
Each gear I shift, each line I trace
I’m chasing you across this place
I took new roads, I changed my name
But nothing ever felt the same
No win, no thrill, no other fight
Matched what we were that fated night
Now even in the dead of sleep
I drift where memories still keep
Your shadow in my dashboard deep
Echo drift, you never fade
Though time has stolen what we made
You taught me speed, you taught me pain
You made me fall, then rise again
Echo drift, I ride for two
Each mile I burn, I burn for you
We never said goodbye that day
But engines spoke what we couldn’t say
Some say the past must stay behind
But I find peace where you're still mine
In every corner, every slide
Your ghost still rides right by my side
Echo drift, eternal flame
No other race could be the same
You lost the war, I kept the song
And still I drift where we belong
Echo drift, my endless friend
The race we ran will never end
You live in speed, in gears that lift
Forever more… in echo drift
