[Intro] (Low, moody guitar. Almost spoken vocal.) Mm… Yeah… ⸻ [Verse 1] Caught my reflection in a truck stop window Half past midnight, somewhere out of state Thought I saw my father for a second Then I realized it was my own face The years don’t ask permission They just settle where they please In the corners of your eyes And the weight behind your teeth I stood there staring Like I was looking at a stranger ⸻ [Pre-Chorus] Tell me where the time went Tell me what remains ⸻ [Chorus] Just look at that face Carved by time and quiet disgrace Searching every line for a trace Of the man who lost his place Just look at that face Still asking heaven for a little grace Trying to embrace What I can no longer erase ⸻ [Verse 2] I spent years blaming the weather The town, the road, the circumstance Spent years chasing distant answers Never giving myself a chance And when she walked into my life I thought I’d finally been saved But some wounds don’t disappear Just because they’re loved for a while ⸻ [Pre-Chorus] Funny how the truth arrives When there’s nowhere left to run ⸻ [Chorus] Just look at that face Carved by time and quiet disgrace Searching every line for a trace Of the man who lost his place Just look at that face Still asking heaven for a little grace Trying to embrace What I can no longer erase ⸻ [Bridge] No, she wasn’t the reason And she wasn’t the cure She was a light in the darkness But the darkness was mine And now the mirror’s asking questions I don’t know how to answer yet Who are you when the story ends? Who are you when there’s no one left? ⸻ [Instrumental Break] (Raw, emotional guitar solo) ⸻ [Final Chorus] Just look at that face Every scar sitting in its place Every wrong turn, every heartbreak Every dream I couldn’t chase Just look at that face There’s still a little fire beneath the gray Still a little hope Refusing to fade away Just look at that face Just look at that face ⸻ [Outro] (Band drops away to guitar and voice) I know that man… Don’t I? I know that man… Don’t I? Mm… Just look at that face…
