Ice on a Burn is a true story about the physics of longing. From the yellow cab at the curb to the exact second the rain stopped and the sun broke through, this song captures the moment the sting of distance finally met its match. It's the cooling relief after a long, lonely time away from the person you love.
Lyrics
Verse 1
Put you on a plane, time stands still
Our song plays loud, like a bitter pill
The burn begins, it’s way too strong
I can’t take the wait, I’ve waited so long
Chorus
Like ice on a burn, you soothe the pain
You calm the storm, you stop the rain
I need you here to ease the strain
I'm counting the days 'til I see you again
Verse 2
Every time you leave, the fire ignites
In the quiet dark, I fight through nights
Scrolling your pictures, I wait your call
The phone lights up, and my heart stalls
Chorus
Like ice on a burn, you soothe the pain
You calm the storm, you stop the rain
I need you here to ease the strain
I'm holding on ‘til I see you again
Verse 3
We talk for hours, but longing stays
In my dreams, I find you in endless ways
I'm on fire, these flames untamed
I need you here to quiet the flame
Chorus
Like ice on a burn, you soothe the pain
You calm the storm, you stop the rain
I need you here to ease the strain
Can’t wait to hold you again
Bridge
You call me up, say you're coming home
My heart beats fast, I’m no longer alone
You’re finally near, the wait is through
Everything’s right when I’m with you
Chorus
Like ice on a burn, you soothe the pain
You calm the storm, you stop the rain
I won’t let go, not now, not then
In my arms, you'll stay again
Outro
I need you to stay
Stay
