Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Out in the heartland
I looked in your eyes
And I asked, "Are you ready...
Ready for this life?"
[PreChorus]
Did you see it coming?
It happened so fast
Timing was perfect
Water on glass
[Chorus]
Like tracing figure eights
On ice in skates, oh, well
And if this ice should break
It would be my mistake
[Verse 2]
Between the cities
Between the thrills
There's something inside you
That doesn't sleep well
[PreChorus]
It won't last forever
Or maybe it will
The white clothes they gave you
You wear them so well
[PreChorus]
Someone once told me
In love, that you must
Place all you're given
In infinite trust
[Chorus]
Yet I'm tracing figure eights
On ice in skates, so well
And if this ice should break
It would be my, my mistake
