Burning Through the Cold

Verse 1

The night’s been long and the road’s been mean,

Dust on my hands, ghosts on my dreams.

I still hear your laugh through the static and rain,

Like a soft goodbye that still knows my name.

Pre-Chorus

And I ain’t been home since the fall,

Guess I’m scared you won’t be there at all.

Chorus

So I keep burning through the cold,

With a heart half-you, half-road.

Every mile I chase just pulls me slow,

Through the fire, through the smoke,

Through the things I’ll never show.

Yeah, I’m still burning through the cold.

Verse 2

There’s a Bible on the dash and a ring in my coat,

Letters you wrote that I never spoke.

The sky’s been gray for three damn weeks,

And I still find your face in the creek.

Pre-Chorus

I ain’t praying much these days,

But I still whisper your name anyway.

Chorus

So I keep burning through the cold,

With a heart half-you, half-road.

Every mile I chase just pulls me slow,

Through the fire, through the smoke,

Through the things I’ll never show.

Yeah, I’m still burning through the cold.

Bridge

If I make it back before sunrise,

Will you still see that same old light

In a boy who never learned to stay,

But always swore he’d find his way?

Final Chorus

So I keep burning through the cold,

Where the wild wind don’t let go.

Every scar just starts to glow,

Through the fire, through the smoke,

Through the love I can’t outgrow.

Yeah, I’m still burning —

Burning through the cold.
