Broken Ice

Umbrellas


If i could i would 
i'd pull your ribs apart 
like the bars on the jail cell 
we'd make a clean break 
i'd touch your racing heart 
to control those anxieties 
to calm you down 
to stop you from pacing around 
so let me do all the worrying 
you know i'm so good at it 
just like skating on broken ice with you 
i'm treading lightly 
i'm watching my step 
this ship has sailed 
our long moring walks 
our shadows strateched out in front of us 
the new born sun buring away at our backs 
the words were formed and spoken in relief 
just happy that the moments had been filled 
so let me do the pretending 
we will get better over time 
just like skating on broken ice with you i'm treading lightly 
i'm watching my step 
this ship has sailed and we're pushing away 
always a song in your head 
always unfailing, always lovely 
but you never bother to sing 
it's like skating on broken ice with you...
