I have no idea why you drove us to the lake That party was boring, I know But why the lake? I can hear the crickets chirping It's like the moon is singing Reading the melody on the waving water Shoes off Ankles deep Lose the sequin dress Up to the waist Dive in The flowers in my hair will wash ashore tomorrow Take a breath The water is like strands of barb-wire I would have thought August to be most merciful for swimming Mild summer night Treacherous to my bones Goosebumps all over I come out shaking And I know Only you can warm me up

Summer Swim
I have no idea why you drove us to the lake That party was boring, I know But why the lake? I can hear the crickets chirping It's like the moon is singing Reading the melody on the waving water Shoes off Ankles deep Lose the sequin dress Up to the waist Dive in The flowers in my hair will wash ashore tomorrow Take a breath The water is like strands of barb-wire I would have thought August to be most merciful for swimming Mild summer night Treacherous to my bones Goosebumps all over I come out shaking And I know Only you can warm me up
