Man Made Lake

I can open up this engine in any direction I can never get away from the shore And you can never lose sight of me Even if I might be Taking on water On a man made lake I used to lie in bed and still feel the motion Only a stone's throw away And when I was a kid I Thought it was the ocean Now I'm taking on water On a man made lake All of the trees beside it Every rock inside it Somebody's dad decided where they should go And when I was a kid I thought it was the ocean Now I'm taking on water on a man made lake I am just a boy I know Frozen in a picture What was that smile I made? I was on a need to know basis And I didn't need to know that I didn't even know it was a man made lake I remember you so clearly, driving home from parties People never said shit in those days I'm laying in the back seat staring, at the headlights glaring Moving the opposite way I am completely safe All of the trees beside it Every rock inside it Somebody's dad decided where they should go And when I was a kid I thought it was the ocean Now I'm taking on water on a man made lake
