Lake House Poem

When the cold sets in, we can dress for it When the pavement ends, my body notices But when yours started caving in Nothing I could say would save it All of those days blend together somehow Don't have much faith in forever, so now I think of us and the seventies couch Awake in the lake house People keep changing like cumulus clouds Some float way up and then never come down Maybe they're lost and don't want to be found Like us in the lake house Where the hills begin, there's an emptiness When you fell in love with it, my body witnesses With all that quiet pressing in And nothing I could say would break it. All of those days blend together somehow Don't have much faith in forever, so now I think of us and the seventies couch Awake in the lake house You keep on changing like cumulus clouds How far up are you? When will you come down? Maybe you're lost and don't want to be found Dizzy and dying like us in the lake house Us in the lake house Like us in the lake house like us in the lake house like us in the lake house Maybe if we pick some words to repeat, Chanting their sounds as we're falling asleep We could wake up and just know what they mean Try to say nice things but we'll still sound mean So you should keep running 'til you cannot breathe You won't get nowhere but lost in the streets You could be strong but it's likely you're weak I could be wrong but I'm not usually And I hope one day we'll end up in between But for right now common ground I can't see It's probably part of the floor of the sea I won't and god knows you can't swim that deep for Me For me, for me, for me It's just that lately I've been angry Though I can't seem To find all my reasons at times when I need them so Sorry It's only That I'm lonely And if I had you the way I wanted to then I wouldn't be Then I wouldn't be I wouldn't be
