If I could I would
I'd pull your ribs apart
Like the bars on the jail cell
We'd make a clean breakI'd touch your racing heart
To control those anxieties
To calm you down
To stop you from pacing aroundSo let me do all the worrying
You know I'm so good at it
Just like skating on broken ice
With youI'm treading lightly
I'm watching my step
This ship has sailed
Our long morning walksOur 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 filledSo let me do the pretending
We will get better over time
Just like skating on broken ice
With youI'm treading lightly
I'm watching my step
This ship has sailed
And we're pushing awayAlways a song in your head
Always unfailing, always lovely
But you never bother to sing
It's like skating on broken ice with you
