Smells on the air
  See there it's crushing the final impression
  The stains on the paper
  Where words fell like water
  Unearth all the changes that never did matter
  I think it's beginning to freeze here
  
  Caught in the rage and the fire of things
  All the brightness that burns me
  I'm fumbling through like a child in the dark
  When the nakedness comes
  I am shocked by the colour the glorious weight of your skin
  Comes alive
  And I never thought we'd make it back so soon
  Might be nice
  But I knew you'd be your own destroyer
  Comes a time
  And I always thought I'd make it up to you
  
  Here please forgive me
  Could we escape all the bitterness piled upon bitterness
  Held in the face of the things that I don't understand
  Intellectualize over and over
  This helplessness suits us
  Funny how quiet has slipped to our corners
  Worn all our edges away
  You are watching breathing and baiting
  Wanting and warming and cautiously waiting
  For some simple signal to creep cross your conscience
  Uncover redemption and oh did I mention
  I carried you down to the St. Lawrence River
  The banks running dirty the water's beginning to freeze here
  Solid by morning
  And I'll freeze here
  Winter by morning
  
  Comes a lie
  And I never thought you'd get me back so soon
  Might be nice
  But it's only if my own destroyer
  Comes alive
  And I always knew I'd make it up to you
  
  I saw on your face such a curious grin
  As I let go your hand
  I was desperate to hold you again
  But you're sinking so deep in the water
  Outsmarted myself and so easily gave up what I wanted
  Solid by morning
  What I wanted
  Winter by morning
  
  Comes alive
  And I never thought you'd make it up so soon
  Night be nice
  But I always knew you're my destroyer
  Comes a time
  And I always thought I'd make it up to you
  
  Solid by morning
  And I'll freeze here
  Winter by morning
