Cracks Lyrics

All the trees

Flail their skeleton hands

Warning us to double back

But we trudge through the boot prints

Strangers cut through this

And make it out in someone else's tracks

Gentler weather

Held you together

But this rough stretch rends your seams

The sidewalks go jagged

And the highways fracture

It's hard to stay and harder still to leave

Cold creeps in the cracks

The delicate can't last

And the ice is gonna try to break us

The ice is gonna try to break us up

Yeah, the ice is gonna try to break us

The ice is gonna try to break us up

Seven months ago

You were invincible

And your misery took so little strength to conceal

But the winds found the weakness

At your collar and sleeves

In the promises you're keeping

In your vow not to leave

So as you shatter to pieces

Fall into me

I could hold you all together till you heal

Cold creeps in the cracks

And it widens them

And weakens everything

And the ice is gonna try to break us

The ice is gonna try to break us up

Yeah, the ice is gonna try to break us

The ice is gonna try to break us up

The ice is gonna try to break us (Everybody falls apart here)

The ice is gonna try to break us up (Everything just falls apart here)

Yeah, the ice is gonna try to break us (I was gonna try to heal ya)

The ice is gonna try to break us up (I was gonna try to heal ya)
