I’ll take you to a lake, in the heart of paradise
Take my hand, I’ll open your eyes
We can go down to the bay
Sit on the sand and watch the waves
Watch them live, watch them die

And the faint orange glow fades beneath the horizon
A million stars appear just for us
A million reflections on the lake
A million reasons I feel safe

Every point of light is a lantern
Every lantern has a soul
Every soul has a story
That’s aching to be told
This is ours, this is now
This is where we wanna be
Ankle deep splash your feet
Are you okay with it being you and me?

Oh, lanterns on the lake
Oh, lanterns on the lake

I might steal that guy’s boat, I’m sure he’ll understand
I stole his boat for you
Then we’ll drive the hijacked boat
Out to the middle of the lake
We’ll sing and laugh and dance and cry
As I watch you die
And the faint lifeless glow
Fades beneath your horizon
A million angels appear from above
A million memories lost in your eyes
A million reasons to break down and cry

Oh, every point of light is a lantern
Every lantern has a soul
Every soul has a story
That’s aching to be told
This is ours, this is now
This is where we wanna be
Ankle deep splash your feet
Are you okay with it being you and me?

Every point of light is a lantern
Every lantern has a soul
Every soul has a story
That’s aching to be told
This is ours, this is now
This is where we used to be
Silent weep, empty lake
Should’ve been me who died that day
