Kevin Devine
Lake House
[Verse 1]
All the lake houses were moving
They were spinning around in the lake
They were shark-infested waters
They were dangerous places to play

[Verse 2]
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

[Verse 3]
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

[Verse 4]
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

[Verse 5]
When you showed up you were glowing
Taking my last breath away
On the arm of some opponent
Gushing at each word he says
[Verse 6]
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

[Verse 7]
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

[Outro]
The day that we swore on that ring
The day that we swore on that ring
