well there's nothing quite like ice cream
as far as I can tell
when milk, ice and sugar get together
they whisper secrets you should never tell
but if you keep it to yourself
you won't feel so well

and there's nothing quite like moving
to bring you to your knees
you'll get knocked down over and over
by the slightest gentle push of summer breeze
it'll make you see
well it'll make you see
it'll make you see

I'm unpacking that blanket that we kept at the foot of the bed
and when that old clock radio would scream
we would lift it up over our heads
and then we'd stay right here
oh stay here
instead

and I still have that dream sometimes
the on with you in it
where there's water everywhere
and it is rising so fast
we're not sure if we should swim in it but we try
but we try
can we make it to the other side?

well I never did like ice cream much
until I met you
and then I got used to sweetness and sugar
fed to me on a silver spoon
but when it's gone
it's gone
I don't feel so well
