PPP - Beach House

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

The timing was perfect

Water on glass

Like tracing figure eights

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 me

In love, that you must

Place all you’re given

In infinite trust

Yet I’m tracing figure eights

On ice in skates, so well

And if this ice should break

It would be my mistake
