Lyrics
Third story at midnight
Snow on the roof
We dance in the starlight
Waiting for proof
That the days would get longer
Maybe your nightmare would end
Maybe I'd finally tell him
How I felt
But he left with my brother
So you grabbed my hand
A drink in the other
Running upstairs
Climbed out of the window
Looked over the edge
Saw the past and the future
Smoking like friends
The summer's sweet with excuses
One more lie
My practiced deception
One more line
On thin ice
Cause your weather gets warmer
and I run every time
On thin ice
The plane gets higher
I jump every time
So I'll meet you at midnight
Bring your drink and your dreams
Me in my blue dress
You in your jeans
And we'll plan an exit
We'll plot our escape
I'll hide my deception
If it puts you at ease
Cause you know I loved him
And you know I lied
And I could pretend
But why even try
Cause the days get longer
The dream starts again
Wake me up when we know how it ends
The summer's sweet with excuses
One more lie
My practiced deception
One more line
On thin ice
Cause your weather gets warmer
and I run every time
On thin ice
The plane gets higher
I jump every time
And I lied too much
To keep my story straight
I can't tell the deception
From the dream
And your hands were tied
They made you show your cards
Only to tell you
Your nightmare was not what it seemed
And it still feels like midnight
But we're not on the roof
You're still dancing
You got your proof
But not how you wanted
Not how you dreamed
The past was a liar
The future's a thief
And they ran off like brothers
They ran off with your youth
And left you to smoke the lies they told you
And I never did tell him
Cause he got too close
I jump from the plane
Cause I fell alone
The summer's sweet with excuses
One more lie
My practiced deception
One more line
On thin ice
Cause your weather gets warmer
and I run every time
On thin ice
The plane gets higher
I jump every time
