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)
