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)

Style
rock, Moody late-90s alt-country meets pop country rock: twangy electric guitars over a steady modern low-end pulse and subtle 808 thump. Male vocals with a weary drawl that opens intimate and smoky, building to an anthemic, shout-along chorus. Big open chords on the hook, background “whoa”s in the last chorus, and a bridge that strips back to voice, bass, and kick before the final lift., electric, country, country rock, pop, male vocals, alternative country, moody
