lyrics

A Walk Around the Lake

sometimes all it takes
is a walk around the lake

sometimes all it needs
is to forget trying to be comfortable

comfort never lit a fire under me

sometimes i'm afraid
and i want to close the door on you
that's the time
i live and die
oh my god, help me open
help me stay

stay, with the feeling
stay, let it pass on by
stay,'til it gives itself back
to the blue sky
to the blue sky

so wrapped up in a story
that i zip up like a coat
it blames you
it blames me
oh that's all it knows

i want to see the snow gently floating
but i don't want to feel the cold
i want to feel my good side unfolding
but i don't want to see my faults

where's this story going?
it's not going anywhere
let it go

go,let it pass on my
go,'til it gives each word back
to the blue sky
to the blue sky

sometimes all it takes
is a walk around the lake
