First Reactions After Falling Through the Ice Lyrics

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

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

This song is about the breakup between the protagonist of the album and his wife/girl. Their relationship worsened and became fragile (the dangerous ice), then they split and he was desperate (he fell through the ice) and he wanted so badly to let her know.
