tip of the iceberg

![]() ![]() Owl city-tip of the iceberg Welcome back Winter once again And put on your warm fuzzy sweater Cuz you'll feel much better when The snowflakes fall Gently to the ground The temperature drops And your shivers freeze all the rivers around But I keep you warm Da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da If speed's a pro Inertia must be a con Cuz the cold wind blows at precise rates When I've got my ice skates on If all the roads Were paved with ice that wouldn't thaw or crack I could skate from Maine to Nebraska Then on to Alaska and back Cuz you keep me warm Da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da Peer over the edge Can you see me? Rivulets flow from your eyes Paint runs from your mouth Like a waterfall And your lungs crystalize I'll travel the sub-zero tundra I'll brave glaciers and frozen lakes And that's just the tip of the iceberg I'll do whatever it takes To change Farewell powdery paradise We'd rather skate on the thinnest ice Fingers failed us before they froze Frostbite bit down on all our toes Snow drifts build up and enfold us As we wait out this winter storm So we snuggle close in the darkness And keep each other so warm Sounds so like a lovey dovey song and also like it is gonna be the perfect love love song but what the guy actually meant was : "The song Tip of the Iceberg is a song about growing up and wishing you were somewhere else, and maybe suddenly realizing that you’ve wasted a good piece of your life. It’s about learning not to take things for granted and really being deliberate and intentional about living life as if the day was your last, and so it’s really about appreciating all that’s around you." Tip of the iceberg-A small evident part or aspect of something largely hidden Very beautiful lyrics, paints such a nice picture even for someone who hasnt seen winter :D |
