Off the Ice

[Verse 1]
Cold air
Cutting through my throat
Face-off
You’re the one I want
Eyes lock
Crowd roars
It blurs
You chirp
But I know every word
[Pre-Chorus]
I slam you hard into the glass
You smile like only I can read that
Every bruise
Every mark on my skin
You trace later like you’re praying
[Chorus]
Off the ice
You’re holding me steady
On the ice
We’re sharp and deadly
Shane and Ilya
Enemies in jerseys
But I know every scar on your body
Off the ice
Your heartbeat’s my siren
On the ice
We’re spinning
Colliding
We play the part for the cameras’ eyes
But we’re trading hearts
In the quiet nights
[Verse 2]
Same hotel
Different elevator
Same floor
See you two doors later
Hat low
Key card in my hand
You laugh
“Guess we’re in the box again”
[Pre-Chorus]
You push me up against the wall
Whisper plays like you’re calling shots
Every fight that we sell as rage
Is just a way to touch in public
[Chorus]
Off the ice
You’re holding me steady
On the ice
We’re sharp and deadly
Shane and Ilya
Enemies in jerseys
But I know every scar on your body
Off the ice
Your heartbeat’s my siren
On the ice
We’re spinning
Colliding
We play the part for the cameras’ eyes
But we’re trading hearts
In the quiet nights
[Bridge]
What happens when the masks come off?
When someone adds the stats all up?
Would they see the way we fall
Every time the gloves drop?
You say
“One day
We won’t hide this”
I say
“Game day
They’d crucify us”
You just kiss my busted lip
Say
“Baby
We already win”
[Chorus]
Off the ice
You’re holding me steady
On the ice
We’re sharp and deadly
Shane and Ilya
Enemies in jerseys
But I know every scar on your body
Off the ice
Your name’s on my necklace
On the ice
We skate around the truth restless
We play the part for the cameras’ eyes
But we’re trading hearts
Yeah
We’re trading hearts
In the quiet nights (oh-oh)
Off the ice

pop, Bright arena-pop sheen with urgent drums, gritty guitars, and shimmering synth pads. Verses tight and breathy, sitting low over a pulsing bass; pre-chorus lifts with tom fills and widening pads. Chorus explodes with stacked male vocals, shout-along hook, and gang harmonies on key phrases. Bridge strips to half-time beat and intimate vocal, then slams back into the final hook with extra ad-libs and octave doubles., romantic
