Death Cab For Cutie - The Ice Is Getting Thinner

Lyrics:

We're not the same, dear
As we used to be
The seasons have changed
And so have we
And there was little we could say
And even less that we could do
To stop the ice from getting thinner
Under me and you

We buried our love
In a wintery grave
A lump in the snow
Was all that remained
Though we stayed by its side
As the days turned to weeks
And the ice kept getting thinner
With ever word that we'd speak

And when the spring arrived
We were taken by surprise
When the floes under our feet
Bled into the sea
And nothing was left
For you and me

We're not the same, dear
And it seems to me
There's nowhere we can go
With nothing underneath
And it saddens me to say
What we both knew was true
That the ice was getting thinner
Under me and you

The ice was getting thinner
Under me and you

Am I the only one round here who hasn't been through a major breakup and still loves this song?

I just watched Gossip Girl's finale, and seeing Dan and Serena together just made me think of this song, it was played when they broke up the first time but couldn't let go..I just loved this show :)

Not a spoiler at all.

I think I'm the only one that doesn't think of an ex, when I listen to this song. I think of my older brother. The ice thinned out to nothing a long time ago... I miss him, and I wish he were still around. We were strangers, the last time we saw each other, and I think he still had anger in his heart when he was taken... so take my sage advice, that came far too late for me to follow, and never take your siblings for granted. No matter how much of a pain they are, or how stupid their decisions.
