[Tossed about the ocean
In boats built for a lake
Life is but a dream
A stream of beautiful mistakes]
On a quiet lake
So far from the shore
We had paddled for an hour
Back would be way more
She said that's just great, oh
What is wrong with you?
You wait 'til we're trapped in a boat
To tell me we're through
By then the safe is dark
And it seems so clear
Tell the truth and let the daylight shine
Watch the shadows disappear
And then the morning came
And I couldn't bring myself to say it
So we went through all seasons
Wrapped in safety vests
The bright red sun it seared my soul
Her eyes, they burned the rest
You must really hate me
To have planned it out like this
You can't get us back to the shore
I'm not rowing shit
And then the questions came
With no place to hide
Why did I blurt it trapped alone in a boat?
I rowed against the tide
I guess I had all day
But I couldn't bring myself to say it
So we turned in our vests
And headed to our cars
She said bye and drove away
But mine, it would not start
And now the sun is setting
And everyone has left
I'm waiting for the tow truck now
And she just sent a text
She said
"You see these last few days
I've had something big to say
How romantic can it be to wait
And I can tell you on the lake
But then you dropped that bomb
And I couldn't bring myself to say it"
