The Tip Of The Iceberg
Owl City Lyrics

Welcome back
Winter has returned

Winter once again
It's the same cycle every year

And put on your warm fuzzy sweater
Get ready to bundle up

Cause you'll feel much better when
It's going to be cold, but at least you'll be prepared

The snowflakes fall
The snow descends from the sky

Gently to the ground
The flakes drift downward softly

The temperature drops
It's getting colder

And your shivers freeze all the rivers around
It's so cold that even the water is freezing

But I keep you warm
I'll make sure you don't freeze

If speed's a pro
If being fast is good

Inertia must be a con
Being slow isn't as great

Cause the cold wind blows at precise rates
The wind is unforgiving and unchanging

When I've got my ice skates on
But I can handle it with the proper tools

If all the roads
If every path was the same

Were paved with ice that wouldn't thaw or crack
If everything was made of the same icy material

I could skate from Maine to Nebraska
I could travel great distances

Then on to Alaska and back
And go even further without stopping

Cause you keep me warm
Having someone special by my side makes the journey worth it

Peer over the edge
Take a look down

Can you see me?
Am I visible from down there?

Rivulets flow from your eyes
Tears are streaming down your face

Paint runs from your mouth
Your words are powerful and emotional

Like a waterfall
Flooding out of you

And your lungs crystallize
The cold is taking a physical toll on you

I'll travel the sub-zero tundra
I'll go to the coldest places on Earth

I'll brave glaciers and frozen lakes
I'll face the harshest elements

And that's just the tip of the iceberg
That's only the beginning of the challenges I'll face

I'll do whatever it takes
I'm committed to overcoming any obstacle

To change
To make a difference

Farewell powdery paradise
Goodbye to the winter wonderland

We'd rather skate on the thinnest ice
We prefer to take risks

Fingers failed us before they froze
We've made mistakes in the past

Frostbite bit down on all our toes
We've suffered the consequences of our decisions

Snow drifts build up and enfold us
We're trapped by the snow

As we wait out this winter storm
We can only sit and hope the storm passes

So we snuggle close in the darkness
We find comfort in each other's warmth

And keep each other so warm
We're there for each other no matter what
