I’m floating on a lake filled by my imagination
I waded beyond the shores of acceptance to find inner inspiration
The deeper it becomes the easier it is to be me
I didn’t think about who you’re with because it is only the sky I can see

Sometimes it feels like we are so close
Our arms around each other whispering about old thorns without a rose
I was in the middle of a dream without a bed
I finally remembered why you left but forgot the things that you said

How can so many years seem so short?
That’s what happens when you don’t believe in goodbye
You live and pretend to walk on water
It’s how you convince yourself you never did tell a lie

When we first met it was so easy
Whatever we wanted happened because we wanted to be happy
It was the water quiet at our feet
Nothing made us worry because it wasn’t the way people usually meet

How can so many years seem so long?
That’s what happens when you have to wait out a new love
You die and sink in a lake full of regret
It’s how you know honesty wasn’t what you were made of

You can never promise it will be the way it was
They know you too well to believe that story again
It’s when the wind blows and the rain falls that life begins
If you tell her then maybe she’ll believe the story didn’t end

How can so many years mean so much?
That’s what happens floating between below and above
You live and die until you decide which one you prefer
Then you know if you’re ready to walk again for love
