[Intro] I watched the hill turn black The sky lean low and mean Your name stuck to my tongue Like smoke on broken teeth [Verse 1] Boots in the gravel lane Glass under my hands The house still held your shape Like a bruise in the land I dragged my old regrets Through mud and winter rain And every door I shut Let out a little flame [Pre-Chorus] Hold on The night is getting loud Hold on I can hear it now [Chorus] Ashes in the air Ashes in the air We burned it down together Now I’m standing there Ashes in the air Ashes in the air Say my name one more time If you still care [Verse 2] The porch light used to shake When you were near the frame Now it just cuts the dark Like it knows my shame I tried to wash it off In the sink of spring But every drop came back With your ring in it [Pre-Chorus] Hold on The roof is caving slow Hold on Don’t let go [Chorus] Ashes in the air Ashes in the air We burned it down together Now I’m standing there Ashes in the air Ashes in the air Say my name one more time If you still care [Bridge] I can see the red Through the trees again Like a final vow Like a place we went If the whole world cracks Let it crack on me I’ll carry what we made To the edge of the sea [Final Chorus] Ashes in the air Ashes in the air We burned it down together Now I’m standing there Ashes in the air Ashes in the air Say my name one more time If you still care
