Breaking The Ice Lyrics

When it's cold enough, I plan to walk past the lake

Repicturing the day we decided to ice skate

Sledding down the hill, thinking about all I've missed

Your reasons to bore me still fill up the list

I walked on the ice, trying not to slip

The water flood through just like a hole in a ship

Sticking to the current, wherever it led

Cause you'd rather start the conversations instead

Here comes the quiet man, he wants to learn to speak

Just the simple words, you and I don't need

He falls into the lake, he's trapped right underneath

And he won't look back, as he struggles to breathe

Behind the bleachers as the sun starts to set

Getting separated from a group of our friends

We had no ride home, then we got to walking

Crossing paths with strangers who were laughing amore than talking

The pump rose up, after that night

I said that it would be cold, she said that it's only ice

I stepped on the surface, expecting to fall

To my surprise, there's no breakage at all

Here comes the quiet man, he wants to learn to talk

You ignore his voice, you continue to walk

He falls into the lake, he's trapped right underneath

And he won't look back, as he struggles to breathe

But he's breaking the ice

Yeah, he's breaking the ice, and you still won't try

Why are you so tired when you're not even quiet?

Don't you think you're not trying hard enough anymore?

Why are you so quiet when you're not even tired?

Don't you think you're not trying hard enough anymore?

Finally it gets dark and my clothes are wet

My hair starts to frost as the fire sets

Backtracking my words, I swear it was a stunt

Cause if I didn't fall, then you never would've run
