the lake

Always feels so touch and go with you
Always feels so yes then no with you
Always feels like it's my fault
Did I do something wrong?
Always feels so easy when you're here
But when you walk away I feel the fear
Always feels like maybe I am the only one who falls

But that night we chased the sun
Gave you my hand, gave you my trust
Blindly running while we're young
I felt what I felt and it felt like love

You took me to the lake
Showed me your favorite place
Don't care if we float or drown
As long as you're around

You took me to the lake
Showed me your favorite place
Felt like everything would change
And I'd never be the same
We stared across the lake
No idea what's at stake
Stealing glances at your face
Is this just a mistake?

I can never trust my foolish heart
Painting pictures is easy in the dark
When the light comes you see the truth
Life isn't art

But that night we chased the sun
Gave you my hand, gave you my trust
Blindly running while we're young
I felt what I felt and it felt like love (Like love)

I'm sitting at the lake
Without you it's not the same
I feel like I'm gonna drown
'Cause you're no longer around

I'm sitting at the lake
Without you it's not the same
I guess everything has changed
I don't know who to blame
As I stare across the lake
I am whispering your name
Remembering your face
Was I just a mistake?

I guess I should've left you alone
'Cause everything is different now that we both know
I guess you should've left me alone
If I wasn't what you wanted why can't you let go?
Why can't you let go?
Why can't you let go?

I'm sitting at the lake
It's become my favorite place
'Cause it's never gonna change
It always feels the same
When I'm sitting at the lake
I feel my heart break
When I think about that day
I think you made a mistake

Someone told me once that a little fear is good for love
So when you're ready I'll be waiting at the lake
