Out in the heartland I looked in your eyes And I asked: "Are you ready Ready for this life?" Did you see it coming It happened so fast Timing was perfect Water on gla** Like tracing figure 8s on ice in skates Oh well And if this ice should break It would be my Mistake Between the cities Between the thrills There's something inside you That doesn't sleep well It won't last forever Or maybe it will The white clothes they gave you You wear them so well Someone once told you In love that you must Place all you're given In infinite trust Yet I'm tracing figure 8s on ice in skates So well And if this ice should break It would be my Mistake
