The Ice Is Getting Thinner... Death Cab for Cutie (Narrow Stairs)

This song that I'm about to share the lyrics with you is really speaking to me right now. I feel it seems to parallel my life right now at this exact moment...Who knows? Tomorrow it might be another song... Enjoy.



We're not the same, dear, as we used to be
The seasons have changed, and so have we
There was little we could say, and even less that we could do
To stop the ice from getting thinner
Under me and you

We buried our love in a wintery grave
A lump in the snow was all that remained
But we stayed by its side as the days turned to weeks
As the ice kept getting thinner with every word that we'd speak

And when the spring arrived we were taken by surprise
When the floes under our feet bled into the sea
And nothing was left for you and me

We're not the same, dear, and it seems to me
There's no where we can go with nothing underneath
And it saddens me to say what we both knew was true:
That the ice was getting thinner under me and you




All too real.... Listen to Death Cab. They can speak to anyone...Especially those who have ever been in love.
