[Verse 1]
Frost on the glass
heater hums slow
Her hand on my knee
red nails, pale glow
Half-rolled window
air tastes like snow
City’s a rumor
muted and low
Ash on her lip
she laughs, it falls
Streetlights smear
down the car doors
Her eyes say stay
my watch says go
We ride that line
between “maybe” and “know”
[Chorus]
Cruisin’ through the winter whispers
You and me in a movie frame
Smoke clouds drawtin’ crooked pictures
On the glass, spellin’ out your name
Slow drive, hearts on a dimmer
World fades, but we burn the same
Cruisin’ through the winter whispers
Say it once, and don’t explain
[Verse 2]
Backseat clutter
old coat, two cups
Cold fries, map
half folded up
She kicks off boots
feet on the dash
Pink socks, chipped
black polish, she laughs
“I love how the world
goes quiet like this”
she says, then fogs
the window with breath
Traces a heart
it drips, then splits
“Guess that’s us”
she shrugs, then leans in
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
[low vocal register]
Turn the sound down
let the tires talk
Snowflakes spin
in the beams as we crawl
Her head on my hoodie
phone face dark
Only our pulses
and the purr in park
[whispered vocals]
Tell me this night
doesn’t melt by dawn
Say these white roads
never lead us home
[Chorus]
