The snow was softly falling as we walked along the street
To the centre of the city where the shopping districts meet
And I reached out for your hand before I thought about the price
Our fingers locked together as our hands began to numb
And I knew that in that moment you were underneath my thumb
But the fire in your eyes was not enough to melt the ice
And deep beneath the frozen arctic of a thousand unshed tears
Is a fire that hasn't burned bright for so many years
And sometimes I think that maybe I could set that fire alight
But the spring will not come early, so we lie here in the winter of our discontent
Sometimes I think that I should just give up and walk away
Then I see a light inside your eyes that makes me want to stay
And I feel the weight of an ice age being lifted off of me
And as the snow began to melt, our heart began to do the same
And we stopped our pointing fingers and trying to pass the blame
And we poured our hearts out as the waitress poured our coffee
And deep beneath the frozen arctic of a thousand unshed tears
Is a fire that hasn't burned bright for so many years
And sometimes I think that maybe I could set that fire alight
But the spring will not come early, so we lie here in the winter of our discontent
Under that ice, under that snow
Lies the heart that once so well I used to know
Under that ice, under the frost
Lie the reminders of the things that we have lost
What kind of ice age froze your soul?
I swear that thawing it out is my goal
Under a glacier, barely alive
Love waits for the promise of spring to arrive…

Just The Same [Edit]

It's snowing hard outside: I looked outside my window
I guess I'm not quite sure what I expected to see
The pines are laden down with their angelic burden
The icy virgin snow reminds me of you
Perhaps it is the frost and the promise that it holds
It always looks so soft, but it always ends up cold
Or the blindness that you get from the reflection that it gives
And I wish I had you here to have and to hold
Sometimes I touch the darkness in vain
Sometimes I try to look beyond the pain
I've found it helps to try and pass the blame
But still I miss you just the same
The fire's going out: it just can't fight the cold
The flicker of the flame grows dimmer by the hour
Although the fire's out, still the embers glow
Somehow the ashes' light reminds me of you
Perhaps it is the light they continue to leave
Or the warmth that they give or the magic that they weave
Or the time that it takes for the firelight to die
A smoldering ember, just like you and I
Sometimes I touch the darkness in vain
Sometimes I try to look beyond the pain
I've found it helps to try and pass the blame
But still I miss you just the same
It's snowing hard outside: I looked outside my window
I guess I'm not quite sure what I expected to see…
