Cut Through the Haze 2

Verse

Glass shatters down by the curb where we used to park

Fragments of neon stuck in your hair like a bad mark

I grab my keys off the hook before you can say what's next

You grab your jacket from the chair and that's enough

The engine coughs once, then it roars to life

We leave this whole town in a cloud of smoke and light

Every streetlamp flickers orange through our rearview

Like we're driving straight into sunrise

You take my hand across the gearshift

I press down on the gas, nothing left to prove

Pre-Chorus

Hold on tight through every crack and break

Watch it all go up in smoke like a firework that's made

We ain't gonna look back at anything we can't control

Cut through this haze and let our shadows go

Chorus

Rust in the headlights, copper in your hair

Cut through the haze with nothing to spare

Every streetlamp flickers orange as we roll past

Nothing left to lose, everything that's lost is ours at last

Hold on tight through every crack and break

Watch it all go up in smoke like a firework that's made

Verse

Cigarette butts scattered down the sidewalk where you used to stand

I leave them burning there as we speed out of hand

The wiper blades swing back, wiping clean the rearview glass

Every ghost of us just disappears like water on the asphalt

We drive past every place that we ever called home

Leave all our shadows burning in a line that won't be shown

You take my hand across the gearshift one last time

I press down hard and we cut through this haze like a knife that cuts in time

Pre-Chorus

Hold on tight through every crack and break

Watch it all go up in smoke like a firework that's made

We ain't gonna look back at anything we can't control

Cut through this haze and let our shadows go

Chorus

Rust in the headlights, copper in your hair

Cut through the haze with nothing to spare

Every streetlamp flickers orange as we roll past

Nothing left to lose, everything that's lost is ours at last

Hold on tight through every crack and break

Watch it all go up in smoke like a firework that's made

Bridge

I don't need no map to know where I'm going now

Every ghost of us just disappearing somehow

Let the sirens fade into the sound of our engine roar

Watch this whole town crumble on the rearview floor

We cut through the haze, we're burning like a flame

Nothing left behind but the smoke and your name

Chorus

Rust in the headlights, copper in your hair

Cut through the haze with nothing to spare

Every streetlamp flickers orange as we roll past

Nothing left to lose, everything that's lost is ours at last

Hold on tight through every crack and break

Watch it all go up in smoke like a firework that's made

Outro

Cut through the haze, watch us burn away

Not one single thing we ever had to say
