Look at us all go now
Still lost in styrofoam
I promise that I'll call you
As soon as I get home
Today's another day
Where I'm watching cars go by
But when's the last time that we paused
And tried not to think a lie
And it's not all bad, oh it's really not
Now you got some things in the house you bought
But what is this for
Do you ever open the door
Throwing coins down the wishing well
There are lies we always tell ourselves
But you don't wanna hear it
And honestly me too
I keep dreaming 'bout the same night
We're on lakeshore in July
And every time I notice new things
Like the wind and people's smiles
Most days are just photos
Yet this one never fades
A twenty minute car ride and I'm there
But it's not nearly the same
For a second when I drift off
I can still hear the sounds
Of fireworks and music
But there's no one around
I try to paint a picture
With words or with a brush
Whatever I can do to play pretend
Or stay in touch
And it's not all bad, oh it's really not
Now you got some things in the house you bought
But what is this for
Do you ever open the door
Throwing coins down the wishing well
There are lies we always tell ourselves
But you don't wanna hear it
And honestly me too
You say it's not gone, oh it's really not
Just a short commute in the car you bought
Well how 'bout a break
When'd you last see the lake
How much time are you down to sell
There are truths we never tell ourselves
But you don't wanna hear them
I think that we should listen
There's no breath left to spare
Let go in open air
