letra de ashes on the tailgate - micah vance christinsen

[verse 1]
we parked where the road forgets to be paved
moon hung like a coin over new grass
you kicked the dirt, the fire burned down to gray
a ribbon of smoke where the night could pass
your denim smelled like summer and a song
my hands were warm, your laugh a low flame—
we watched the coals go soft and small
like old photographs calling out our names

[chorus]
ashes on the tailgate, silver on your jeans
this little world between us settles down and breathes
keep your head on my shoulder, don’t mind the morning light—
we’ll fold the night into our pockets and drive through the quiet
ashes on the tailgate tonight

[verse 2]
there’s a map of freckles on the inside of your wrist
you traced the lines with a cigarette glow
we spoke in small truths and borrowed songs
the kind you keep when you can’t let go
the radio hummed a tune about leaving home
but we stayed put like a promise kept
if memory’s a house that time rearranged
we’ll keep the doors unlocked for what’s left
[chorus]
ashes on the tailgate, silver on your jeans
this little world between us settles down and breathes
keep your head on my shoulder, don’t mind the morning light—
we’ll fold the night into our pockets and drive through the quiet
ashes on the tailgate tonight

[bridge]
maybe tomorrow the road will call our names
maybe morning will steal what the dark once gave
but there’s grace in the ruin, a gentle kind of flame—
what’s burned can feed the seed beneath the safe
so let the wind take what it wants and leave the rest
i’ll hold the good like a locket to my chest

[verse 3 / outro]
we’ll wash these ashes off in the river by the bridge
laugh at how small everything looked from here
your fingers find mine like a compass that knows
and the world, for a moment, gets very clear
so let them say we were foolish to stop and stay
they don’t see the way the quiet makes things right
we carry nights like treasures, worn but bright—
ashes on the tailgate, and you beside me tonight
