Lanterns on The Lake

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
