The Ice Is Getting Thinner This is the way i play these two chords. Am/D C#dim E|-2-| E|-3-| B|-1-| B|-2-| G|-2-| G|-0-| A|-0-| A|---| |---| |---| [Intro] / [Verse 1] Were not the same dear As we used to be The seasons have changed And so have we And there was little we could say And even less that we could do To stop the ice from getting thinner Under me and you [Verse 2] We buried our love In a wintery grave A lump in the snow Was all that remained Though we stayed by its side As the days turned to weeks And the ice kept getting thinner With ever word that we’d speak [Bridge] And when the spring arrived F C#dim We were taken by surprise When the flows under our feet Bled into the sea And nothing was left For you and me [Instrumental] / / [Verse 3] Were not the same dear And it seems to me There’s nowhere we can go With nothing underneath And it saddens me to say What we both knew was true That the ice was getting thinner Under me and you [Outro] The ice was getting thinner Under me and you

Cette chanson évoque la fragilité des relations qui, au fil du temps, peuvent se dégrader malgré les efforts de chacun. Elle parle d'un amour qui a fini par s'éteindre, symbolisé par la glace qui se fragilise sous leurs pieds, représentant la vulnérabilité du couple face aux changements et aux épreuves. La métaphore de l'hiver et du dégel souligne comment le passage du temps a affecté leur connexion, laissant un vide entre eux, comme un espace gelé sans fondement. Le contexte semble être celui d'une rupture ou d'une désillusion progressive où les sentiments, autrefois intenses, se sont évanouis. Les personnages prennent conscience qu'ils ne sont plus en phase et qu'il devient difficile, voire impossible, de revenir en arrière. La chanson s'inscrit dans un moment de réflexion sur ce que signifie aimer dans une réalité qui n’est plus celle qu'ils connaissaient.
