가사
[Verse 1]
Your plate still sits there
Cold on the table
One fork turned over
Like it gave up first
I fold your note again
The ink is fading
My hands know the paper
Better than your face
[Pre-Chorus]
I keep the door chain
For a sound you won't make
I keep your old key
Just to feel it break
[Chorus]
Ashes on the table
I still set you down
Ashes on the table
But you don't come round
I say your name slow
Like it might heal me
Ashes on the table
And that's all you leave me
[Verse 2]
The mug by the sink now
Has a hairline crack
Same as what happened
When you did not come back
Your coat in the hallway
Still holds your shape
I reach for the pocket
Find a little weight
[Pre-Chorus]
I keep the light low
Like you asked me to
But every dark room
Brings me back to you
[Chorus]
Ashes on the table
I still set you down
Ashes on the table
But you don't come round
I say your name slow
Like it might heal me
Ashes on the table
And that's all you leave me
[Bridge]
If I forgive the night
Will it give you back?
If I stop the clock
Will it learn your tracks?
The floorboards answer
With their tired sigh
Nothing in this house
Can tell me why
[Final Chorus]
Ashes on the table
I still set you down
Ashes on the table
But you don't come round
I say your name slow
Like it might heal me
Ashes on the table
And that's all you leave me
Ashes on the table
I can't let you go
Ashes on the table
That's the only home
I hold your name close
Till it cuts through me
Ashes on the table
And that's all you leave me
Your plate still sits there
Cold on the table
One fork turned over
Like it gave up first
I fold your note again
The ink is fading
My hands know the paper
Better than your face
[Pre-Chorus]
I keep the door chain
For a sound you won't make
I keep your old key
Just to feel it break
[Chorus]
Ashes on the table
I still set you down
Ashes on the table
But you don't come round
I say your name slow
Like it might heal me
Ashes on the table
And that's all you leave me
[Verse 2]
The mug by the sink now
Has a hairline crack
Same as what happened
When you did not come back
Your coat in the hallway
Still holds your shape
I reach for the pocket
Find a little weight
[Pre-Chorus]
I keep the light low
Like you asked me to
But every dark room
Brings me back to you
[Chorus]
Ashes on the table
I still set you down
Ashes on the table
But you don't come round
I say your name slow
Like it might heal me
Ashes on the table
And that's all you leave me
[Bridge]
If I forgive the night
Will it give you back?
If I stop the clock
Will it learn your tracks?

Ashes on the table
I can't let you go
Ashes on the table
That's the only home
I hold your name close
Till it cuts through me
Ashes on the table
And that's all you leave me
음악 스타일
Acoustic ballad with slow 6/8 sway, fingerpicked guitar and felt piano carrying the verse; pre-chorus opens with aching cello swells and a held low drum thump, chorus lifts into stacked male harmonies and a weeping string line. Vocal is intimate, cracked, close-mic, with breathy doubles on the hook, reverse piano tails into section changes, and a spacious cinematic mix that stays raw and minimalist., emotional, raw, acoustic, sad, vocal, cello, slow, ballad
