Lakehouse

You're gonna die
When you see that it's just what we need, a lover's retreat
Just you and I
We'll leave the miserable city behind, make up for lost time
But we know something's missing
Can we get by reminiscing
The past disappearing like a dead deer
In the rear view mirror

Grandmother said
This place has excellent bones, an idyllic home
Two bath, two bed
Placid waters where we'll take the kids that don't yet exist
But we know we won't bother
Only come here once a summer
Ten days of genre fiction
And out of office replies

And I can't keep pretending everything'll be alright
It's gonna take more than a trip to the lakehouse this time
There's something wedged between us and it's eating us alive
It's gonna take more than a trip to the lakehouse this time
Never mind, just drive

I've seen the marks
On your back that cannot be from our pedestrian fun
Whispered phone calls
Bobby pin in the glovebox I know you're not driving alone
But I still let you do it
You must think I'm pretty stupid
It's dangerous in the country, darling
Keep your eyes on the road
On the road

Cause I can't keep pretending everything'll be alright
It's gonna take more than a trip to the lakehouse this time
There's something wedged between us and it's eating us alive
It's gonna take more than a trip to the lakehouse this time
Never mind, just drive

Put us both out of our misery
Wring the neck of what we used to be
Put us both out of our misery
Wring the neck of what we used to be
Put us both out of our misery
Wring the neck of what we used to be
Put us both out of our misery
Wring the neck

And I can't keep pretending everything'll be alright
It's gonna take more than a trip to the lakehouse this time
This time
There's something wedged between us and it's eating us alive
It's gonna take more than a trip to the lakehouse this time
Never mind, never mind, never mind
