[Verse 1]
God bless the daylight, the sugary smell of springtime
Remembering when you were mine in a still suburban town
When every Thursday I'd brave those mountain passes
And you'd skip your early classes, and we'd learn how our bodies worked

[Verse 2]
God damn the black night, with all its foul temptations
I've become what I always hated when I was with you then
We looked like giants in the back of my grey subcompact
Fumbling to make contact as the others slept inside

[Chorus]
And together there
In a shroud of frost, the mountain air
Began to pass
From every pane of weathered glass
And I held you closer
Than anyone would ever guess

[Bridge]
Do you remember the J.A.M.C.?
And reading aloud from magazines
I don't know about you, but I swear on my name they could smell it on me
But I've never been too good with secrets, no
[Outro]
And together there
In a shroud of frost, the mountain air
Began to pass
Through every pane of weathered glass
And I held you closer
