John Van Deusen
Heart Lake
[Verse 1]
I’ve been watching the grass grow
Up from under the pavement
It’s a valid reminder
This winter’s over
I can’t love you
I can’t, I can’t, I can’t
I can’t hold you
[Verse 2]
I’ve been chasing a feeling
Untethered and reeling
On the nights when I’m sober
I know it’s over
I can’t know you
I can’t, I can’t, I can’t
I can’t owe you
I’ve slowly read between the lines of my own promises
[Chorus]
As something changed
Something bright spoke my name in to the night
Something changed
Something bright spoke my name in to the night
I cannot trade it, fake it, doubt it, hide it if I tried
Shе’s always been my horizon
[Verse 3]
I awake in the darkness
Grasping for a figmеnt
I was drowning in Heart Lake
She gave a hand to take
And I sense my changing
Another set of eyes to sunlight breaking
I’ve slowly read between the lines of my own prophecy
[Chorus]
As something changed
Something bright spoke my name in to the night
Something changed
Something bright spoke my name in to the night
I cannot trade it, fake it, doubt it, hide it if I tried
She’s always been my horizon
[Verse 4]
In the morning I let go of all that I once was
Seeing now how it played out
It dissipates my doubts
And I am grateful
I rest my feet upon the coffee table
