lyrics

this lake is for lovers
at least that's what i warned myself on a shoreline shaded by pines
but it had been a hot summer
so i dove down into the muck and splashed around to ease my troubled mind
the sun bleached the colors
from my eyes as i stared into the sky until i thought i'd go blind
three feet underwater
is where i was when it occurred to me that maybe i don't mind

this lake is for lovers
woah oh oh oh oh oh oh
this lake is for lovers
woah oh oh oh oh oh oh
this lake is for lovers

and it's funny how at once i feel so small
and also like i take up so much space that i can't breathe at all
maybe this lake is for me after all, after all (x2)

being in love is for suckers
at least that's what i heard you say to your friends just as i walked by
i've been in love at least ten times
in the last month alone, there are so many great folks that make me melt inside
having a crush is a great way
to break down those personal boundaries that isolate us from the outside
i guess there's also the heartbreak
but without some pain i'd never meet so many friends that make me feel alive

being in love is for suckers
woah oh oh oh oh oh oh
being in love is for suckers
woah oh oh oh oh oh oh
being in love is for suckers

and it's funny how at once i feel so small
and also like i take up so much space that i can't breathe at all
falling in love is for me after all, after all

this lake is for lovers
woah oh oh oh oh oh oh
this lake is for lovers
woah oh oh oh oh oh oh
this lake is for lovers
