Lake Michigan

[Intro]

The stories of old lovers

That we will never get over

[Hook]

All we can do is compete

With something we'll never see again

Lake Michigan

Drowning in this beautiful but cold idea of love

Lake Michigan

Frozen in this cold idea of love

[Verse 1]

You'll never be hurt like you were the first time, babe

You'll never be loved like you were loved for the first time, babe

You'll never be held like you were held for the first time, babe

And you'll never be touched like you were touched the first time, babe

[Bridge]

Stories of old lovers

That we never get over

[Hook]

All we can do is compete

With something we'll never see again

Lake Michigan

Drowning in this beautiful but cold idea of love

Lake Michigan

Frozen in this cold idea of love

[Verse 2]

And you will never kiss like you kissed that one time, babe

And they can never be missed like you missed that one time, babe

You will never cry like you cried that one time, babe

And no lie will ever feel like that lie the first time, babe

[Bridge]

Stories of old lovers

We never get over

[Outro]

All we can do is compete

With that one thing we'll never see again

Lake Michigan
