Breaking the Ice - Frankie Big Face

Living all my years in the shadow of doubt
Hiding under the table 'til it's safe to come out
In my heart, there's a vacancy that you can't see
No, you can't see
I want to tell how our life could be
But the words are bottled up inside of me.

CHORUS:
Pins to needles, needles to pins
I'll need an axe if I want to get in
Your shell is thick and your patience thin
Breaking the ice, don't know where to begin

See each other on the number four train every day
Trading smiles 'cross the aisle in the usual way
In my mind I weave a thousand plots
That leave me all tied up in knots
Just as I overcome my second thoughts
We reach your stop and I've blown another shot

CHORUS

And I want to shout (Hey! Hey!)
Is there anyone in there?
I open my mouth
And all I get is air
And I want to shout (Hey! Hey!)
Is there anyone in there?
I open my mouth
But nothing comes out

CHORUS
