lyrics

Nobody knows what it’s like on this lake
Like it’s hot but it’s cool
Well some people must like I don’t own this lake
But sometimes well I feel like I do

And I wonder where all of this water has been
In a bay’s rising tides
Or traveling around in a bottle or falling from skies
Or from somebody’s eyes

Yeah I know that this probably isn’t true
But I like to think it was with you and now it’s here
And I know it’s just water so I leave it alone

Nobody knows the feeling I get when I
Say your name
Well some people will but it’s very specific this
Kind of ache

I feel sort of stupid describing myself in this
Broken way
Like I’m some sort of bird with a wing that won’t work
And the other’s just waiting to break

Yeah I know you still care about me
And I know it doesn’t matter either way
Cause I know I’ll be fine I’ll be great on my own

But right now I am lost
And I am tired
And we were golden
I really loved you
And I want you to be mine
It’s fine

Back to that water
Do you think that the oxygen atoms are friends
Like they seek that half pair of O2 that they shared
In each river and bend

Or do you think that they travel forgetting the bonds
That they had in the past
Never missing each other or even stopping to think
Cause the water’s just moving too fast

Yeah I know they’re just atoms they can’t think
But I also know we’ve breathing them all our lives
So I like to think that they remember where they’ve been
And I know you’re gonna think of me one day and you’ll say

Oh I’ve been lost
And I’ve gotten tired
And we were golden
I really loved her
And I want her to be mine
