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 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 bothered to sing



It's like skating on broken ice with you...
