Missouri Embers

Lyrics

Verse 1
Gravel road
FM station hissing
June bugs tap-dancing on the glass
You laughed
Kicked off your sandals
Said
"Hear that?" like the stars answered back

Chorus
The sound of us starting
Soft as your name on my tongue
The crack of that first truth
In the dark
Coming undone
The world kept on humming
Crickets
Trucks rolling through town
But under Missouri embers
All I heard was the sound

Verse 2
Smoke curls
Porch light in the distance
Your head resting right on my chest
Every breath wrote a different future
Every pause dared me to confess

Chorus
The sound of us starting
Soft as your name on my tongue
The crack of that first truth
In the dark
Coming undone
The world kept on humming
Crickets
Trucks rolling through town
But under Missouri embers
All I heard was the sound
