Lyrics - 'Icebreaker'
Every night
Before I sleep a shiver down my spine
Thoughts align
What can I do to make you listen?
Like a northern light
You’re dancing over every border line
Passing every sign
Between reality and fiction
Every single promise that you ever made
Spinning in my mind like a hurricane
Baby yes I hear your mayday
Chorus:
I'll be your icebreaker
When you’re stuck in frozen water
(when you’re stuck in)
Frozen water
You go astray
Just like a Polaroid
You fade away
I'll be you partner
and liberate you from your prison
Baby yes I hear your mayday
We’re way too young to say goodbye
Whenever you lose faith just hold the line
It takes a lot of nerve to save a life
