If I could, I would,
I'd pull your ribs apart.
Like the bars on a 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 moment 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,
No you never bothered to sing.

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