[Verse 1]
I came home with a ring tan line
And a folding chair for the rain
You came in like a match in a jar
All heat, all need, all flame
I had a house full of ash
You had a mouth full of spring
You lit up the corners I left dark
Then asked what the smoke would bring
[Pre-Chorus]
You said, "Baby, don't you freeze on me"
I said, "Baby, don't you burn me down"
We were two alarms in a Sunday room
One to the sky, one to the ground
[Chorus]
Put my soul on ice
Let it hold me right
You were fire in a small white cup
I was smoke in the night
Put my soul on ice
If that keeps us alive
You can scorch my name
I can learn to survive
[Verse 2]
You wore red in the grocery aisle
I wore blue like I meant to stay
You could turn a bad old bruise to gold
With a look that bent my day
I was split down the middle by law and weather
By a key I still keep around
You made a bed out of bad decisions
And a mouth that could drown me out
[Pre-Chorus]
You said, "Baby, don't you cool me off"
I said, "Baby, don't you make me numb"
We were a matchbook and a block of ice
Trying to teach each other love
[Chorus]
Put my soul on ice
Let it hold me right
You were fire in a small white cup
I was smoke in the night
Put my soul on ice
If that keeps us alive
You can scorch my name
I can learn to survive
[Bridge]
You burn your way through the lock
I freeze my way through the ache
You want the whole house glowing
I want one thing that won't break
Maybe I'm a lake in January
Maybe you're a hand on the glass
Maybe we keep calling it chemistry
When it's just two kinds of past
[Final Chorus]
Put my soul on ice
Let it hold me right
You were fire in a small white cup
I was smoke in the night
Put my soul on ice
If that keeps us alive
You can scorch my name
I can learn to survive
Put my soul on ice
(put my soul on ice)
You and I both know
Some loves don't die, they thrive
