[Intro]
[soft piano chords drifting]
Breath on the glass
Your name in the fog
Holding the wheel
Hands still shaking
[Verse 1]
Empty road
Flicker of blue on the dash
Your sweater
Folded and fraying in back
I talk like
You’re somewhere just out of frame
Still here
In every echo of your name
[Chorus]
All of these miles
Ashes in the rearview
Driving in circles
Just to feel near you
I keep the window cracked
Like you might climb inside
All of these miles
And you’re still by my side (oh)
Ashes in the rearview
But I can’t say goodbye
[Verse 2]
Half-smoked pack
Lines from a fight we rewrote
Your playlist
Starts on the song that you loved most
I promise
Out loud to the empty seat
I’ll carry
Every version of you in me
[Chorus]
All of these miles
Ashes in the rearview
Driving in circles
Just to feel near you
I keep the window cracked
Like you might climb inside
All of these miles
And you’re still by my side (yeah)
Ashes in the rearview
But I can’t say goodbye
[Bridge]
Headlights fade to halos
As the night pulls me through
If the sky had a doorway
I’d drive straight into you
Tell me how to let go
Teach my hands to release
‘Cause I’m holding the memory
Harder than the grief
[Chorus]
All of these miles
Ashes in the rearview
Driving in circles
Just to feel near you
I keep the window cracked
Like you might climb inside
All of these miles
And you’re still by my side
Ashes in the rearview
Scattered on the sky
Ashes in the rearview
But I can’t say goodbye
[Outro]
[voice and piano only]
Breath on the glass
Your name in the fog
One more turn
Then I’ll let you go…
