Keep Your Stick on the Ice

Take a deep breath
Think about what you said
Bring it back again
And realize what it meant
It’s just so hard here pretending
That everyone is perfect
That everything is worth it
Like it used to be
I really wonder what happened
I thought people never changed
We skated schoolyard steps
And on the lake when it froze
Now I’m just cynical
And everybody knows
I used to laugh
But then it got old
Now I’m just cynical
And everybody knows
Where did the voices in my head come from?
I swear it’s all news to me
I really wonder what happened
I thought this would never change
You’ll all throw your wish in the well
But I’ll keep mine a secret
My body’s soaked and raw
I’m too tired to think
Yet nobody cares at all
