House by the lake
Childhood summer days
Watching the boats
Make way
Go from catching frogs
To kissing your first girl
To stealing your first beer
The years begin to swirl
And the lake’s getting deeper
The more you try to keep her
And your heart’s losing water
The more you try to call her
Back to you
Back to you
You call her back with drink
You call her kissing the sink
But you’ve lost your boyish charm
And you’re bored by your song
Bored by the beauty
Of what was once a family
Bored til tears
I forget those years
And the lake’s getting deeper
The more you try to keep her
And your heart’s losing water
The more you try to call her
Back to you
Bite your lip and count to ten
You may never be that happy again
Fight the tears and lick the salt
Mr Jose Cuervo takes it all
Away from you, forget this past
You failed to make it something that lasts
So set this autumn lake on fire
Let it burn with your silly desire
To go back
To go back to you
Back to you
Oh, to go back
To go back to you
Back to you
To go back
And the lake boils inside me
It leaves this hole that you all see complete
Back to you
Back to you
