[Verse 1] You came in slow Like rain on my sleeve I had a hard year You had the nerve to breathe I kept my guard up You read it in my face Still you set down That quiet, patient grace [Pre-Chorus] And I was all sharp edges All closed door, all pride You said, "Take your time" Then you stayed outside [Chorus] Blue ashtray, hold that spark Blue ashtray, warm this dark Blue ashtray, easy now I’m learning how to let you in Blue ashtray, stay close by Blue ashtray, don’t ask why Blue ashtray, one slow touch Turns all my broken edges thin [Verse 2] Now it’s late trains And coffee gone cold Your hand on my back Like a story told I used to run At the first sign of care Now I lean in And find you there [Pre-Chorus] You never pushed me You just met me steady When my heart shook hard You were already ready [Chorus] Blue ashtray, hold that spark Blue ashtray, warm this dark Blue ashtray, easy now I’m learning how to let you in Blue ashtray, stay close by Blue ashtray, don’t ask why Blue ashtray, one slow touch Turns all my broken edges thin [Bridge] I was a locked jaw A winter in the throat You came with soft hands And a coat of hope Not a rescue Not a grand parade Just a slow hand On the mess I made [Final Chorus] Blue ashtray, hold that spark Blue ashtray, warm this dark Blue ashtray, easy now I’m learning how to let you in Blue ashtray, stay close by Blue ashtray, don’t ask why Blue ashtray, one slow touch Turns all my broken edges thin Blue ashtray, call my name Blue ashtray, love stays sane Blue ashtray, night by night You turn my losing into light
