[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

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
