Lake - Stroke 9

I’ve been sitting down here

At the bottom of this lake

More than a year

Making the same mistakes

I wish I would have known

How I was wrong

What I could do

To fix it all

I was taking a stand

I was lending a hand

I was trying to do

What I could understand

There was always a fear

I couldn’t see

That it was just not right for me

But I thought I’m a man

So I carved out a plan

Then I thought I could breathe

Way down here in the deep

It’s been more than a year

And I’m clearly not right

I’m just trying to save some face now

Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey

Someone to think with

Someone to drink with

Someone who leaves me alone

Someone to lie with

Someone to get high with

Someone who makes it home

We’re gonna run downtown at a quarter after eight

Grab a beer, take a break

And have someone to cry with

Run downtown, I’ll be there, don’t be late

Grab a beer, take a break

And have someone to die with

I’ve been waiting for this

Down here in the basement

Counting the days for way too long

I wish I would have known

How I could change

What I could do

Who I could be

I was making my way

A little bit every day

I was trying to go

Places I didn’t know

There was always a chance

I couldn’t dance

Really fast or really slow

But I thought I’m smart

So I figured I’d start

Digging around upstairs and get out of the dark

It’s been more than a year

And I’m clearly not right

I’m just trying to save some face now
