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?
Am Em
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

Hinges and arms need be replaced

All the way at the edge

What if now the ice cracked?

I think I felt it bend"

We took opposite steps

Tried to even the stress
Em
Picked a safe direction but
C Em
You never know the way the ice thins
Dm
Half-asleep in dreams where

Ceilings start collapsing

Free fall through the roof beams

Before you hit the pavement

Floor of the foundation

Bodies in the lake

"Don’t panic," I could hear you

Saying as I fell through

Blackness complete down
Em F
Waiting till my feet touched ground

At the bottom, they finally did

First reaction was, "This is it"
Em C
Next thought was, "Just stay calm,
Em Dm
Kick up, and save your phone"
Dm C Am Am
Dm F
'Cause I wanted to tell you...
Em
And I thought you should know...

Because I thought it might scare you

To see me under the ice
Am
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 getting pulled out

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
