Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I boxed up pictures by the door
Left my old name on the floor
I keep a match in my coat sleeve
Like it might set me free
The house still holds your silhouette
In every crack, in every step
I want the smoke to clear it all
I want to watch it fall
[Pre-Chorus]
But when the room goes quiet
I hear your ghost in my head
And I know if I light it up
I might end up back again
[Chorus]
Ashes for tomorrow
Burn it down, burn it down
Ashes for tomorrow
But don’t leave me in the ground
I want out, I want out
I want out of this chain
Ashes for tomorrow
Still I’m scared of the flame
[Verse 2]
I wrote goodbye in lipstick red
Then wiped it clean with shaking hands
I hate the way I need a door
But hate the dark even more
So I stand here at the edge
With my heart and a half-packed thread
Wanting gold from all this ruin
Wanting you to call me human
[Pre-Chorus]
But when the room goes quiet
I hear your ghost in my head
And I know if I let it go
I might end up back again
[Chorus]
Ashes for tomorrow
Burn it down, burn it down
Ashes for tomorrow
But don’t leave me in the ground
I want out, I want out
I want out of this chain
Ashes for tomorrow
Still I’m scared of the flame
[Bridge]
If I cross that line tonight
Who will know my middle name
Who will knock three times and stay
When I’m not okay
Maybe I need the wreckage
Maybe I need the rain
But I keep one hand on the match
And one hand on your frame
[Final Chorus]
Ashes for tomorrow
Burn it down, burn it down
Ashes for tomorrow
But don’t leave me in the ground
I want out, I want out
I want out of this chain
Ashes for tomorrow
Still I’m scared of the flame
Ashes for tomorrow
(hold me, hold me)
Ashes for tomorrow
(don’t let me go)

Style
Alt-pop with driving mid-tempo pulse, syncopated toms and tight palm-muted guitar; verse stays sparse with close-mic female vocals and low harmonies, pre-chorus opens into rising pads and clipped handclaps, chorus hits with stacked doubles and a chantable hook. Use reversed swells, a brief tape-stop before the final chorus, and delayed ad-libs on key words. Bright, punchy mix with an intimate edge.
