Lyrics
[Verse 1]
You left your jacket on my chair
Coffee stain on the sleeve
Your old playlist in my car
Keeps starting at track three
[Chorus]
We’re just ashes on the dashboard
Ghosts in the rearview glass
Talking like we might still make it
Driving circles through the past
If love was built to outlast storms
Why’d we break at the first crack
Ashes on the dashboard
Blowing out
Not coming back
[Verse 2]
I hear your keys outside my door
But it’s the pipes in the wall
Every footstep on the stairs
Feels like your name in the hall
[Chorus]
We’re just ashes on the dashboard
Ghosts in the rearview glass
Talking like we might still make it
Driving circles through the past
If love was built to outlast storms
Why’d we break at the first crack
Ashes on the dashboard
Blowing out
Not coming back
[Bridge]
If I called you right now
Would you let it just ring
Or would you pick up
Breathe in
Say you kept everything (everything)
[Chorus]
We’re just ashes on the dashboard
Ghosts in the rearview glass
Talking like we might still make it
Driving circles through the past
If love was built to outlast storms
Why’d we break at the first crack
Ashes on the dashboard
Blowing out
Not coming back
You left your jacket on my chair
Coffee stain on the sleeve
Your old playlist in my car
Keeps starting at track three
[Chorus]
We’re just ashes on the dashboard
Ghosts in the rearview glass
Talking like we might still make it
Driving circles through the past
If love was built to outlast storms
Why’d we break at the first crack
Ashes on the dashboard
Blowing out
Not coming back
[Verse 2]
I hear your keys outside my door
But it’s the pipes in the wall
Every footstep on the stairs
Feels like your name in the hall
[Chorus]
We’re just ashes on the dashboard
Ghosts in the rearview glass
Talking like we might still make it
Driving circles through the past
If love was built to outlast storms
Why’d we break at the first crack
Ashes on the dashboard
Blowing out
Not coming back
[Bridge]
If I called you right now
Would you let it just ring
Or would you pick up
Breathe in
Say you kept everything (everything)
[Chorus]
We’re just ashes on the dashboard
Ghosts in the rearview glass
Talking like we might still make it
Driving circles through the past
If love was built to outlast storms
Why’d we break at the first crack
Ashes on the dashboard
Blowing out
Not coming back
