Cinder in my pockets 2

Verse 1

Fifteen and the back of your pickup truck

Ashes scattering where we used to run

Porch light humming like a promise kept

You said someday I'd be out from under this sun

Cinder in my pockets, dust on my shoes

Pre-Chorus

Hold on to what's left of the heat

Before it burns down to nothing at our feet

Chorus

Can't let go when the ember still glows

I'm not ready for these ashes to go

Cinder in my pockets

Lightning in my bones

Verse 2

Now I drive that truck with your mother's pride

Windows rolled up and this wind through my hair

Every stoplight is a memory we made

You said someday you'd catch me before I fade

But the road stretches out like an empty page

Pre-Chorus

Hold on to what's left of the heat

Before it burns down to nothing at our feet

Chorus

Can't let go when the ember still glows

I'm not ready for these ashes to go

Cinder in my pockets

Lightning in my bones

Bridge

Maybe this fire never had a name

Just a spark that I keep for the flame

Someday I'll find another way to stay

But right now I need you, it's not okay

To let this burn without your hand in mine

Chorus

Can't let go when the ember still glows

I'm not ready for these ashes to go

Cinder in my pockets

Lightning in my bones
