Walking somewhat near the shallow end walking on an ice-flow it's six AM somewhere along the bank parts drip off it's caving in underneath it's 8 feet deep and sinking keeping step 2 feet behind me something's going to crack and I'm too scared to look scared it's not time to be heading back you want to see the sunrise but it's at least 3 hours before it even comes and the last stretch is always the hardest one i try to be clever i always try too hard i try to say "you're more beautiful than any sunrise" but the words just come out wrong funny how the lighter clouds seem painted on you say "hold my hand before it freezes off" i thought you'd never ask keeping step 2 feet behind me something's going to crack and I'm afraid it's going to be me but I'm not ready yet yet the things I want to say will probably never come because the last stretch is always the hardest one
