Eskimo kisses

believe me
believe me when I tell you
the world isn't as round and slippery as it was in the winter
when it was all covered with a sheet of ice
we could skate across an ocean
take time on opposite sides and still meet back home for supper
now there's only a one way ticket
i love you for keeping it cold
putting my boiling mind in an ice tray
piecing my mangled heart like an igloo
we don't have to worry about our histories with lost love repeating
i know this
because it's fucking hot now and it's still beating
you'll keep beating
you'll keep winning
i'll watch you proudly from the other side of a melted world
i promise
