By the Lake Lyrics by Pale Jay

Bewilderment

2022

[Chorus]
It might be for the better
For just one night I thought it was you
When I woke up I had to remember
I'll never know if it could be you
[Verse 1]
I would change my scenery
Move to the mountains from the sea
I'd change the office for a shed
And change my flat share for your bed
[Chorus]
It still might be for the better (for the better)
For just one night I thought it was you (it was you)
When I woke up I had to remember (to remember)
I'll never know if it could be you (it was you)
[Verse 2]
Am I too weak or way too brave (Who am I?)
To honour the promise that I gave? (What do I do?)
But the thought keeps me awake
I'll never see your hair blow by the lake
[Chorus]
It still might be for the better
For just one night I thought it was you (it was you)
It still might be for the better (for the better)
For just one night I thought it was you (it was you)
When I woke up I had to remember (to remember)
I'll never know if it could be you (it was you)
