[Verse 1] You left your sweater in the backseat Still smells like summer and cheap wine Coffee cups crowded on the console I trace your name along the line
[Chorus] These ashes on the dashboard Are all that's left of what we swore I light another match Just to watch it burn like we did before If love was made to crash Then We were always headed for the floor Ashes on the dashboard I don't ride with you anymore
[Verse 2] Your bracelet's tangled in the gearshift Tiny ghost clinging to the chrome Talk to the rearview like you hear me Still drive the long way past your road
[Chorus] These ashes on the dashboard Are all that's left of what we swore I light another match Just to watch it burn like we did before If love was made to crash Then We were always headed for the floor Ashes on the dashboard I don't ride with you anymore
[Bridge] Radio's stuck on our old station (oh) Every chorus cuts me to the bone I roll the window down Let the cold rush in Try to throw you out But I take you home
[Chorus] These ashes on the dashboard Are all that's left of what we swore I light another match Just to watch it burn like we did before If love was made to crash Then We were always headed for the floor Ashes on the dashboard I don't ride with you anymore
