Lyrics
There was a day when
Reflecting on a past day
The snow was cold, when it hit my face
Recalling a cold experience
I didn’t feel it
Not registering the cold
I didn’t realize, we couldn’t seem to place
Being unaware of a problem
Why you took us to the lake
Questioning a decision to go to the lake
Why we left our love to wait
Wondering why love was abandoned
The lake was frozen
Describing a frozen lake
The words were cold, as they hit my face
Describing cold, harsh words
I didn’t feel it
Not feeling the impact of harsh words
I didn’t realize, you couldn’t seem to place
Realizing a mutual inability to understand
Where it took us to the lake
Questioning the destination
Where we left our love to wait
Leaving love behind with uncertainty
My mouth is unspoken
Having unspoken words
Our concrete is broken
Referencing broken foundations
Am I the man, in the stream
Questioning self-identity
In the stream
Repetition emphasizing self-doubt
I counted forward, I counted safe
Counting progress without finding a place
But in these circles, still no place
Feeling stuck in a repetitive cycle
Around the corner, around the bend
Anticipating an end or conclusion
I’m certain we are at the end
Feeling certain of reaching the end
When you took off from the lake
Reflecting on departure from the lake
When you left our love to wait
Leaving love behind with uncertainty
My mouth is unspoken
Having unspoken words
Our concrete is broken
Referencing broken foundations
Am I the man, in the stream
Questioning self-identity
Am I the man
Repetition emphasizing self-doubt
