Lyrics
When the summer comes, you?ll find me in the water
In a lake I know so well outside this sleepy little town
Wishing you were here to jump in with me
When suddenly I find I?m sinking down
When I met you it was coming on december
And the snow was gathered up upon the lakeshore looking down
As the water froze beneath our love grew deeper
And the ice adorned the rivers like a crown
It?s not that it?s farther to fall
It?s just that there are seasons
When the ice just seems so thin
That you can look right through the looking glass
And see where we begin
Treading water
Well the summers pass away like every season
And there?s times the skating?s easy on this love that we have found
But on other days the ice seems cold and fragile
And suddenly we find we?re sinking down
It?s not that it?s farther to fall
It?s just that there are seasons
When the outlook seems so dim
That you can look right through the looking glass
And see where we begin
Treading water
It?s like we?re skating on the thinnest ice of all
With nothing but our love to hold us up
I lean on you and hold your hand
And trace a figure eight where we can?t stand
Well the summers pass away like every season
And there?s times the skating?s easy on this love that we have found
It?s not that it?s farther to fall, it?s just that there are seasons
When everything?s so clear
That you can look right through the looking glass
And see that we?re still here
Treading water
