Lyrics

Ashes

[Verse 1]

Late at night is when I think of you most

You're on my brain, on my brain

Thought that I gon' give up the ghost

But in you came, in you came

Like some fucked up rainfall

There's only so much I can take

Hard to breathe with your hands 'round my throat, oh

[Chorus]

Light up a fire

Ain't no burying you and me

Flames getting higher

Can't throw our ashes to the sea

Keep our heads underwater

Desperately wanna

But I can't drown the memory of ya

The harder I try, yeah

Still no burying you and me

[Verse 2]

Knowing inside I'm a block from the coast

I'm on the edge, on the edge

I'm in knots on the end of your rope

Get out of my head, of my head

Fighting for my survival

I can't lay this love to rest

It's at night when I think of you most, oh

[Chorus]

Light up a fire

Ain't no burying you and me

Flames getting higher

Can't throw our ashes to the sea

Keep our heads underwater

Desperately wanna

But I can't drown the memory of ya

The harder I try, yeah

Still no burying you and me

[Bridge]

Try to stop, I try to leave

I guess that's just some fantasy

Gave my heart, so naive

But now you're just the death of me

I try to stop, I try to leave

I guess that's just some fantasy

I gave my heart, was so naive

And now I'm just...

[Chorus]

Light up a fire

Ain't no burying you and me

Flames getting higher

Can't throw our ashes to the sea

Keep our heads underwater

Desperately wanna

But I can't drown the memory of ya

The harder I try, yeah

Still no burying you and me
