Great Lakes State Lyrics by The Swellers

The Light Under Closed Doors

0

I couldn't make out the signs but I think I'll be myself tonight
Records break but somehow we make it through
And all we have is the reoccurring dream that we can hold onto
It's iced over when you go downtown and you know I'm the heat that you needed
I'm awake and you're a half a world away
It's not too late when you're a half a world away
So don't be scared, I need you
You know that I would meet you there and see you swim across the great lakes
I couldn't make out the signs but I can't be by myself tonight
There's no hope when there's no one else around
And all we have are these unfamiliar things that we should understand by now
I'm awake and you're a half a world away
It's not too late when you're a half a world away
So don't be scared, I need you
You know that I would meet you there and see you swim across the great lakes
Or we'll just let things thaw for now
And it'll all return to the lake and to the clouds
Records break but somehow we make it through
I need something I can hold onto
I'm awake
So don't be scared, I need you
You know that I would meet you there and see you swim across the great lakes
