Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Your ghost still rides shotgun in my Chevrolet
Three years of silence, still got nothing left to say
You burned like summer, left me winter-cold
Now I'm just a story that you never told
[Pre-Chorus]
They say time heals everything — they lied
I'm still drunk on goodbye
[Chorus]
You were gasoline, I was grace
We burned too bright for this place
Now I'm just ash on the dashboard
Screaming your name at the stars
You were my favorite scar
Gasoline and grace
[Verse 2]
Your mother's house, that porch light's always on
I drive past midnight just to prove you're gone
The radio plays our song, I let it bleed
Some wounds don't heal — they just learn to need
[Pre-Chorus]
They say move on, find someone new
But every stranger's eyes look blue like you
[Chorus]
You were gasoline, I was grace
We burned too bright for this place
Now I'm just ash on the dashboard
Screaming your name at the stars
You were my favorite scar
Gasoline and grace
[Bridge — stripped back, raspy falsetto]
I don't want heaven
If you're in hell
I'd burn forever
Just to feel you, feel you...
[Final Chorus — full power, vocal fry]
You were gasoline, I was grace
We burned too bright for this place
Now I'm just ash on the dashboard
Screaming your name at the stars
You were my favorite scar
Gasoline... and grace
[Outro — spoken/rasped]
Still got your lighter...
In my glovebox...
Just in case...
