under the ice

The Drums

I m under the ice
My whole life
If you see me gently smiling baby
You should know I m just trying not to cry
Under the ice
My whole life
If you see me gently smiling baby
You should know I m just trying not to cry

I see you skating by
You look strong, you look full of life
I gather strength then change my mind
My heart goes dark
Then I fall behind

I m under the ice
My whole life
If you see me gently smiling baby
You should know I m just trying not to cry
Under the ice
My whole life
If you see me gently smiling baby
You should know I m just trying not to cry

We all get a chance at joy
Did mine come and go?
Every morning I quit smoking
Every night I m bumming a light

I m under the ice
My whole life
If you see me gently smiling baby
You should know I m just trying not to cry
Under the ice

How much longer do I have to wait
For you to come and burn a hole through my soul?
I want to skate on top with you
And it s cold and it s dark and I m scared

And I m still under the ice
My whole life
If you see me gently smiling baby
You should know I m just trying not to cry
