"Icebergs" lyrics

"Icebergs"

I'm watching it frame by frame
Your frame by mine in the pale morning light
I'm reminded of icebergs
I was holding you tight 'til I slipped into sleep
And an iceberg's a mountain
That gives way with heat
And the sun is coming up fast
So I'd better be getting back

But I'm watching it grain by grain
The draining of time with our
Faces arranged in parallel lines
And by now I'm no stranger to your gravity
Every kiss is a skydive
With you underneath
And the ground is coming up fast, is coming up fast
And the ground is coming up fast
And I brace myself for impact

I'll give you a secret to toss or to keep
I am no good at falling asleep
But when I do
It's a dream waking up next to you

And I'm watching it vein by vein
The shapes of our spines and
The bundles of nerves with which we are aligned
Every pleasure and hurt just a point on the map
Makes me long for the days when
The world was still flat
But the edge was coming up fast, was coming up fast
Oh, the edge was coming up fast
Can you miss what you haven't got past?
