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
