Lyrics

Break The Ice

At the other end of the table he watches her sit down to eat
She asks him to pass the potatoes, he looks up but he doesn't speak
He just hands the bowl to his daughter and looks out the window instead
As the silence grows louder and louder, he opens his mouth and says

The neighbors got a new car, I wonder how they'll pay for that
I know that he works very hard, they must have put a little back
And as he looks back at the table, she brushes a tear from her eye
He's hopin' to God he is able to say the right words this time....

Chorus:
To break the ice, the tension that keeps you from love
Don't think twice, whatever you say is enough
If it chases the chill from the air
Like someday I'll fix the leg on this chair
And a pool in the yard would be nice
Say anything to break the ice

He slowly gets up and starts walkin' and makes his way to her side
He kisses her cheek without talkin', his lips taste the salt from her eyes
She clutches his hand so tightly, the blood rushes to his head
With the sound of their hearts beating loudly, there's no need for words to be said....

Chorus:

Bridge:
Don't let foolish pride get in the way of common sense
'Cause if you run and hide, you just build another fence...
No matter how big the problem, don't let your love be in doubt
There's only one way to solve it, you got to let the words come out

Chorus:

Tag:
Say anything to break the ice..
Break the ice.....
