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...
