Wind coming heavy against my chin

Verse 1

Salt on the curb from a winter that stayed too long

Knuckles tingling, the novocaine almost gone (gone)

Vents blow heat across my collarbone

Blood in the palms, picking up the tone

First time the street isn't made of stone (stone)

Pre-Chorus

Chest unlocked, taking deeper air

Static clearing out the wires up there

Didn't think a pulse would return tonight

Shifting into drive at the yellow light (light)

Chorus

Wind coming heavy against my chin

Tell me it's real when the warmth sets in (sets in)

Forgot the speed that a chest can hold

Feels so strange not being cold

Starting to feel good again (again)

Starting to feel good again (again)

Verse 2

Pavement is black instead of that frozen blue

No more rationing breath to get through (through)

Sub in the doorframe shaking against my wrist

Sun hitting hard enough to burn the mist

Green lights open for five blocks straight

Done letting survival decide my weight (weight)

Pre-Chorus

Chest unlocked, taking deeper air

Static clearing out the wires up there

Didn't think a pulse would return tonight

Shifting into drive at the yellow light (light)

Chorus

Wind coming heavy against my chin

Tell me it's real when the warmth sets in (sets in)

Forgot the speed that a chest can hold

Feels so strange not being cold

Starting to feel good again (again)

Starting to feel good again (again)

Bridge

Not cured, just thawed on the boulevard

Didn't know playing dead was this hard

You live in the frost till you think it's home

Then the heat hits your teeth like chrome (chrome)

Chorus

Wind coming heavy against my chin

Tell me it
