Various Artists - First Reactions After Falling Through the Ice lyrics

[Instrumental] I knew it was far too late to walk out on the lake then Halfway to the middle thawed I wasn't doing all that great Had I cut my hair short? Had I grown my beard out long? Had I gone to school or…? Why do all my plans fall through? There's a leak in the basement Stupid permanent estrangement Casement windows need glazing Hinges and arms need be replaced All the way at the edge I said I think That we should head back What if now the ice cracked? Think I felt it bend We took opposite steps Tried to even the stress Picked a safe direction but You never know the way the ice thins Half-asleep in dreams where Ceilings start collapsing Free fall through the roof beams Get startled back awake Before you hit the pavement Floor of the foundation Water in the basement Bodies in the lake Don't panic I could hear you saying as I fell through Blackness complete down waiting till my feet touched ground At the bottom they finally did First reaction was this is it Next thought was just stay calm kick up And save your phone Because I wanted to tell you Because I thought you should know Because I thought it might scare you To see me under the ice Make you remember you cared for me What would you do if I died? Would you fly out for my funeral? Get too drunk at my wake? Would you make a scene then? Climb in and try to resuscitate me? I was on the ice and I was underwater I was getting pulled out, I was in my wet clothes Stumble on the walk back, someone stoked the fire at camp I was by the flames trying to get my body warm I was standing naked checking to see if my phone still worked I will cut my hair short Trust me, I will I will let my beard go Trust me, I will I will never tempt fate Not once, I swear I will never trust ice I will never trust a thing
