Frosted Haze in the Rearview 2 (Version 2)

Verse 1 – male gravel baritone, slow spoken cadence, close and unprocessed

Frost on the mirror, engine still warm

Last light of morning on my arm

Cigarette smoke curling up in thin strands

Same roads again but it's not the same

We drove through the dark until dawn started to climb

Said something about a different kind of life

Picked you up at 4 and now here we sit

Waiting for daylight like the whole damn thing doesn't exist

Pre-Chorus

Feet on the seat, engine turns over slow

Breathe through the frost before the light hits low

Chorus – male gravel baritone, close and unprocessed

Frosted haze in the rearview

Leaving yesterday behind

Pulling out into the gray

Where we go next is mine

Frosted haze in the rearview

Cold air hitting my face

Fuel to burn but I don't know

Where this road will take us, what's the pace

Verse 2 – male gravel baritone, slow spoken cadence, close and unprocessed

Sunrise over water where the highway bends

Windshield ice scraping off like it was nothing then

Coffee warm in my cup, radio playing soft

Same rhythm but this time I'm not lost

I drove through cities and across your floor

Every mile felt heavier than before

Held onto the wheel when the road went white

Never once let go of tonight

Pre-Chorus

Feet on the seat, engine turns over slow

Breathe through the frost before the light hits low

Chorus – male gravel baritone, close and unprocessed

Frosted haze in the rearview

Leaving yesterday behind

Pulling out into the gray

Where we go next is mine

Frosted haze in the rearview

Cold air hitting my face

Fuel to burn but I don't know

Where this road will take us, what's the pace

Outro

Rearview glass turning blue

Grey sky stretching out wide and true
