Ash in the ashtray
Coffee gone cold
Your denim jacket
Still on the floor
You said you’d call me
“Soon as I land”
Now it’s three past midnight
Phone in my hand
Lavender smoke
Hangs in the air
Smells like last night
And your wild hair
Ghost of your laugh
Caught in my throat
I’m breathing you in
Through lavender smoke
Lip print on the mirror
Note on the sink
“Don’t overthink this”
You knew I’d think
Curtains half open
Sun almost here
Sky turning violet
You’re nowhere near
Lavender smoke
Hangs in the air
Smells like last night
And your wild hair
Ghost of your laugh
Caught in my throat
I’m breathing you in
Through lavender smoke
Maybe you’re boarding
Maybe you’re gone
Maybe I’m clinging
To the afterglow too long (too long)
But every swirl
Above that bedside glow
Draws your outline
Then lets you go
Lavender smoke
Hangs in the air
Smells like last night
And your wild hair
Ghost of your laugh
Still in my bones
I’m breathing you in
I’m breathing you in
Through lavender smoke
