Hiawatha Lake

Lately I've been feeling like I'm trudging through the snow but it's July
And Central New York isn't always cold
And the past few months I've felt my heart try to explode
Sometimes it comes on stronger but it never really goes

And I'm sitting in a waiting room because it's something I can't fight
And I waited in that desperate room just to hear that I'm alright
I'm not alright...

This is a call to all the actions I've never taken
This is a bottle filled with pills I could never swallow
This is a waste of all the precious time I've apparently been blessed with
This is a thank-you for the stability I've borrowed

And it's an 18-minute drive from here to your house if I take the highway
And my gas doesn't run out
We'll drive through sketchy neighborhoods that your dad would hate and end up at the park
Sit on a bench and tear our pasts apart

And I don't wanna leave quite yet but Matt needs to use my car
He's headed out to Buffalo tonight and his dad's transmission won't get him very far
We've come so far...

This is a call to all the actions I've never taken
This is a bottle filled with pills I could never swallow
This is a waste of all the precious time I've apparently been blessed with
This is a thank-you for the stability I've borrowed

This is a call to all the actions I've never taken
This is a bottle filled with pills I could never swallow
This is a waste of all the precious time I've apparently been blessed with
This is a thank-you for the stability I've borrowed

And I'm dealing with this struggle day-to-day
It's like waiting for a nightmare in the rain
And I'd pray if I believed in god but I doubt that things would change
So I'll lean on you and I hope you'd do the same
