broken ice

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 morning walks Our shadows stretched out in front of us The new born sun burning 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
