Lake House - Bad Books, Manchester Orchestra, Kevin Devine

All the lake houses were moving

They were spinning around in the lake

They were shark-infested waters

They were dangerous places to play

You approached me like a brother

Told me «all that you see isn’t true»

A shark pops out of the water

A crucifix carved in his tooth

There was one song left, repeated

As I drifted off, grazing your leg

It was tough to tell your motive

You were stuck between no and yes

When I woke, I saw your anchor

Pierce through the top of my spine

That I pushed too far to recover

As I’m living on borrowing time

When you showed up you were glowing

Taking my last breath away

On the arm of some opponent

Gushing at each word he says

When I asked to speak about it

You made it real easy for me

Just because we have a baby

Doesn’t mean that you belong to me

Oh, and if I ever lose you

If that horrible day ever comes

I don’t know how I’d recover

I don’t know what race I’d run

But I know that I’d love you

The day that we swore on that ring

The day that we swore on that ring
