amelia didn't know how long had passed but when she looked up after scribbling out brunette and changing it to blonde, she realised that she was alone in the studio, the ghosts having left god knows when. she'd finally finished her song and took the opportunity of having no one around to play it.

she played the opening notes from her notebook, closing her eyes and letting her fingers glide across the keys.

i got my drivers license last week
just like we always talked about
cause you were so excited for me
to finally drive up to your house
but today i drove through the suburbs
crying cause you weren't around

amelia didn't notice the two ghosts poof behind her, watching her in shock and adoration. amelia starting thinking about savannah and how she made her feel.

and your probably with that blonde girl
who always made me doubt
she's so much older than me
she's everything i'm insecure about
yeah today i drove through the suburbs
cause how could i ever love someone else?

the two ghosts felt their hearts ache at the pain in her voice, especially as she starting to sing the chorus.

and i know we weren't perfect
but i've never felt this way
for no one
and i just can't imagine
how you could be so okay
now that gone
guess you didn't mean
what you wrote in that song about me
cause you said forever
now i drive alone past your street

amelia's mind flicked back to the times that she complained to julie about all the times he ignored her for savannah and how all she wanted was to spend time with him. she knew julie was tired of hearing about him, she always told amelia she was too good for him.

and all my friends are tired
of hearing how much i missed you
but i kinda feel sorry for them
cause they'll never know you
the way that i do yeah
today i drove through the suburbs
and pictured i was driving home to you

i know we weren't perfect
but i've never felt this way
for no one
and i just can't imagine
how you could be so okay
now i'm gone
i guess you didn't mean
what you wrote in that song about me
cause you said forever
now i drive alone past your street

amelia paused for a moment, playing a higher key and opening her eyes, the ghosts still going unnoticed. she was also unaware of ray who was walking down the steps, listening to the pain of his second daughter and julie appeared by the doors of the garage.

red light, stop signs
i still see your face
in the white cars
front yards
can't drive past the places
we used to go to
cause i still fucking love you babe

sidewalks, we crossed
i still see hear your voice
in the traffic
we're laughing
over all the noise
god i'm so blue
now we're through
but i still
i still fucking love you, babe

everyone listening could hear the desperation in her voice as she claimed she still loved the person who hurt her the most

i know we weren't perfect
but i've never felt this way
for no one
and i just can't imagine
how you could be so okay
now that i'm gone
guess you didn't mean
what you wrote in that song
about me
cause you said forever
now i drive alone past your street
