The Embers Know

+ Show full styles

[hmmm,hmm] [Verse 1] The night is quiet, the town’s asleep, but you still wander through the deepest parts of me. There’s a little heat beneath the ash and dust, a glow you barely see until you lean in close enough. Your sweater’s hanging where you left it last, still smells like summer, like our better past. And I keep wondering if you feel it too— that little pull that always leads me back to you. [Pre-Chorus] We lost our way, but not the light— some fires only fade, they never die. [Chorus] ’Cause the embers… still in us, still warm, still true. Just a spark away from burnin’ like we used to do. You and me, we’re fire-born, yeah, we always were— and the embers know the truth. Oh, the embers know… I’m still in love with you. [Verse 2] Sometimes it only takes a single word, and suddenly it burns like it never hurt. We thought we put the flames to rest for good, but some loves never fade the way they should. Your picture’s slightly crooked on my wall, like it’s waitin’ for a reason just to fall. Maybe we’re only one small breath away from lighting up what never fully went out anyway. [Pre-Chorus] We’re not finished, just undone— like sparks drifting home to where they came from. [Chorus] ’Cause the embers… still in us, still warm, still true. Just a spark away from burnin’ like we used to do. You and me, we’re fire-born, yeah, we always were— and the embers know the truth. Oh, the embers know… I’m still in love with you. [Bridge – soft, intimate] Maybe all we need’s a little flame, a whispered word, a spoken name. I feel it rise… you feel it too. Don’t say it’s gone— you know it’s you. [Final Chorus – gentle, emotional] ’Cause the embers… still in us, still warm, still true. Just a spark away from burnin’ like we used to do. Maybe love like ours just never dies— it waits for skies to open wide. And the embers know… I still belong to you. [Outro – instrumental] I still belong to you. hmmm hmmm
