Cigarette Ash on My Hoodie

Driving slow through the neon rain

Every red light spells your name

Dashboard glow and a shattered frame

I keep chasing back the plane

You said forever, I said I'd stay

Now the silence won't fade away

Hands on the wheel, but I can't decide

If I'm running from you or from me tonight

I replay every turn, every word, every bruise

Every little lie I didn't refuse

And I know in my bones what the truth should be

But my heart still aches for what you took from me

I'm still reaching for the love that burned out

Still calling your ghost in the pouring out crowd

All these tears done said I can't let go

Even when the whole sky says it's over now

I'm still reaching for the love that burned out

Parking lot lights on a half-lit street

Your memory rides in the passenger seat

I hear your laugh and that hiss of steam

Like a song I can′t mute in the back of my dreams

I should turn the key and drive away

Leave your shadow at the edge of yesterday

But every mile just pulls me in

To the same old wound I keep living in

Every play, every turn, every word, every bruise

Every little lie I didn't refuse

And I know in my bones what the truth should be

But my heart still aches from what you took from me

I'm still reaching for the light right now

Still calling you gold in the pouring out crowd

All this distance and I can't let go

Even when the whole sky says it's over now

I'm still reaching for the love that burned out

If I could rewrite the night we broke

I'd leave fewer wounds that I say more hope

But the rearview holds what I can't change

Just a man in the rain with a heart in flames

I'm still reaching for love that burned out

Still holding the ash of a runaway vow

Every wound and every scar, every doubt

Pulls me back to the place where we fell out

I'm still reaching for the love that burned out
