Ashes on the Dashboard

[Verse 1]

Late bus home

Headphones on

Your name

In every song

Ticket stub

In my sleeve

I kept quiet

So you'd never leave

[Chorus]

Ashes on the dashboard

Everything we burned to stay the same

We were drawing halos

On the fogged-up glass

Then writing blame

I still take the long way

Past the corner where you screamed my name

Ashes on the dashboard

But I drive it like a flame

[Verse 2]

Your coat

On my chair

I move rooms

Just to dodge the air

Streetlamp flickers

You once laughed

Now it's just

Our photograph

[Chorus]

Ashes on the dashboard

Everything we burned to stay the same

We were drawing halos

On the fogged-up glass

Then writing blame

I still take the long way

Past the corner where you screamed my name

Ashes on the dashboard

But I drive it like a flame

[Bridge]

I rehearse that night

Line by line

You walk out the door

I rewind

Rewind

If I’d said “stay”

Would you still go?

Or were we always

Just smoke

Just smoke (oh)

[Chorus]

Ashes on the dashboard

Everything we burned to stay the same

We were drawing halos

On the fogged-up glass

Then writing blame

I still take the long way

Past the corner where you screamed my name

Ashes on the dashboard

I’m still driving through your flame
