The Decemberists - Lake Song lyrics

Down by the lake we were over-turning pebbles and depending all the animals alike And I took a drag from your cigarette and pinched it ‘tween my finger and my thumb to let it die And the sun burned low on the radio Say that you will say you will or will you won’t or you whatever you prevaricate your whole life, don’t you? And this much I can say I would have waited ‘till the oceans fell away and all the sunken cities would reveal themselves to you But you won’t will you? Because you never do And the sun burned through sweet as honeydew And I, seventeen and terminally vain well I wrote it down and threw it all away never gave a thought to what I paid And you, silver-lined reclining in your cue you tattered me you tethered me to you The things you wouldn’t, the things you wouldn’t do to tell the truth I never had a clue Now we arise to curse these young suburban villains and their ill-begotten children from the lawn Come to me now and on this station wagon window set the ghosts of your two footprints that they might haunt me when you’re gone And when the light rode dawn you were forever gone But I remember you you were full… you were full and sweet as honeydew And I, seventeen and terminally vain well I wrote it down and threw it all away never gave a through to what I paid And you, all silver-lined reclining in your cue you tattered me you tethered me to you The things you wouldn’t, the things you wouldn’t do you notice now I never had a clue never had a clue you’re full and sweet as honeydew you’re full and sweet as honeydew
