Verse 1
You're getting smaller every mile I drive
The city lights behind me start to die
I kept your voice inside a glass jar on my shelf
Tonight I'm finally learning how to let it
Chorus
Ashes in the rearview, that's all that's left
Of the things we promised, of your broken breath
I'm not running faster, I'm just running through
Ashes in the rearview, and I'm letting you
Verse 2
Your sweater's in my passenger seat
I've washed it seven times, it still smells like your skin
I could turn this car around right now
But I know where that leads and I've been there
Chorus
Ashes in the rearview, that's all that's left
Of the photographs and the things unsaid
I'm not running faster, I'm just running through
Ashes in the rearview, and I'm letting you
Bridge
Don't get smaller
Don't turn back
Let the highway take what I can't carry
Don't get smaller
Don't turn back
I'm finally not afraid of empty
Outro
Ashes in the rearview
Ashes in the rearview
And I'm letting go
