First Reactions After Falling Through The Ice Lyrics - Rooms Of The House - La Dispute

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
