Melting Ice

Lyrics

I have just come round
Woke up to the sound of melting ice in my heart
I can’t deny the pain – to feel the beats again
The strains that tore me apart

It wasn’t meant to be this way (x2)
Don’t you know that I still love you (x2)

Everyone is listening here
An echo of a fallen tear
Wakes a part in you I know
Will you hide or will it show

What was it that made me say
Everything I’d locked away
In secret rooms so deep inside
The darkest chambers of my mind

And it stirred inside of me
A looping, messed up memory
To me makes sense only when I feel the beats again

I have just come round
Woke up to the sound of melting ice in my heart
I can’t deny the pain – to feel the beats again
The strains that tore me apart

It wasn’t meant to be this way (x2)
Don’t you know that I still love you (x2)

Notes

The theme of this song, spelled out at the end of the song, is about discovering that you still have feelings for somebody after you’ve both well and truly moved on.

I’ve recorded this song a few times including a version for the Four Minute Mile EP. I believe my earlier version of the song was used at the end of a film student’s filmshow although I didn’t hear how that went.
