[Verse 1]
Heart like a crime scene
Yellow tape round every feeling
Trust burned down last season
Still smell the smoke when I'm breathing
Yeah, she left me bleeding
Said forever, then deleted
Saw my future on read
All our plans turned to ash on the bed
[Pre-Chorus]
So I built these walls up high
Sharp on the edge where I cried
Sleep with the lights on inside
Told myself love had died
[Chorus]
But maybe you're the after, after the crash
Hands on the wheel when the sky goes black
Kissing all the cuts that the last one scratched
Future in your eyes, not the rearview glass
Maybe you're the late-night, soft restart
Typing out hope on a busted heart
I was sure I'm done, then you pulled me back
You’re the future love after the crash
[Verse 2]
I still flinch when my phone rings
Every buzz feels like endings
Hear her name in your sentences
Shadow in our sentences
But you stay, you stay, you stay
Even when I push you away
You say, "Boy, let the past be past"
While you trace every crack in my hands
[Pre-Chorus]
I keep looking for the lie
Waiting for the switch in your eyes
You keep looking at my scars
Like they’re constellations, not my faults
[Chorus]
Maybe you're the after, after the crash
Hands on the wheel when the sky goes black
Kissing all the cuts that the last one scratched
Future in your eyes, not the rearview glass
Maybe you're the late-night, soft restart
Typing out hope on a busted heart
I was sure I'm done, then you pulled me back
You’re the future love after the crash
[Bridge]
If I break, will you stay on the line? (yeah)
If I shake when you say you’re mine?
Can we write something clean on this stained white page
Let your name be the first I don’t have to erase
[Chorus]
‘Cause you’re the after, after the crash
Both hands on me when the night goes black
Kissing all the cuts that the last one scratched
Promise in your voice, not the rearview glass
You’re my late-night, quiet restart
Breathing in faith to a busted heart
I was sure I'm done, now I’m leaning back
Into future love after the crash
