Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Ashtray full of half-planned futures

Lit cigarettes and busted plans

You say you’re fine

Your hands are shaking

Holding on to what we had

Back booth at the same old barroom

Jukebox stuck on the sad

You laugh it off

I see right through it

You say it’s never been that bad

[Chorus]

So we light one more

Let it burn too slow

Watch the smoke write things we’ll never say out loud

All our could’ve-beens in the afterglow

Yeah

We’re breathing in a love that we’re putting down

If this is all we ever get

We’ll go out like lit cigarettes

Yeah

We’ll go out like lit cigarettes

[Verse 2]

Your truck keys on the table rattling

Every time my phone lights up

You ask if I still talk about you

I just shrug and drain my cup

Truth is every highway haunts me

Every song turns into us

You trace circles on your napkin

Saying

“Baby

Is this love

Or just a crush?”

[Chorus]

So we light one more

Let it burn too slow

Watch the smoke write things we’ll never say out loud

All our could’ve-beens in the afterglow

Yeah

We’re breathing in a love that we’re putting down

If this is all we ever get

We’ll go out like lit cigarettes

Yeah

We’ll go out like lit cigarettes

[Bridge]

Maybe we’re just bad at endings (oh)

Maybe we’re just scared to quit

Every time that flame is fading

We lean in

We lean in again

[Chorus]

So we light one more

Let it burn too slow

Watch the smoke write things we’ll never say out loud

All our could’ve-beens in the afterglow

Yeah

We’re breathing in a love that we’re putting down

If this is all we ever get

We’ll go out like lit cigarettes

Two hearts choking on regret

Still burning like lit cigarettes (yeah)
