Out in the heartland
I looked in your eyes
And I asked:
"Are you ready
Ready for this life?"
Did you see it coming
It happened so fast
Timing was perfect
Water on gla**
Like tracing figure
8s on ice in skates
Oh well
And if this ice should break
It would be my
Mistake
Between the cities
Between the thrills
There's something inside you
That doesn't sleep well
It won't last forever
Or maybe it will
The white clothes they gave you
You wear them so well
Someone once told you
In love that you must
Place all you're given
In infinite trust
Yet I'm tracing figure
8s on ice in skates
So well
And if this ice should break
It would be my
Mistake
