Story Behind The Song
There was someone I felt love for, but he was not available at that time. I longed to be with him, but had to keep my cool whenever he was around so as not to let on to him, or anyone else, how I really felt.
Song Description
This is a song about longing to melt into the feeling of love, but being afraid to. Afraid because it is a forbidden love, or afraid because of past hurts.... The idea is that it's better to stay cool and hard and stuck where you are than to allow yourself to be moved, to melt, to fall into love. It is a song of longing.

Lyrics
If I can be like a glacier
Noone would see how you move me
And if I can stay cool and solid
You won't believe that I'm melting
But I could be water over a stone
If I can keep holding on here
Quiet and tall then I won't fall
Turn my face up watch the blue sky
Wind in my ears, then I won't hear
Your voice like water over a stone
Layers deep and weathered
But some things last forever
I won't look so I won't see
River run deep, wind down to me
Wear down my eadge with the words that you've said
Come on run fast ,wind down to me
Close to your side, into you I'll slide
Then we would be water over a stone.
