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
