The Ice is Getting Thinner by DCFC from their new album "Narrow Stairs". Very powerful song.

P.S. Sorry for the video. I know it only has like 4 pictures. haha, I just had to put the song up, well 'cause yeah, I had a broken heart. I didn't really care. lol

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 flows 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
