lyrics

I once slept in these cabins
I once lay on this hill
I once swam in these waters
I once kissed in this field

I once muddied my sandals
Catching frogs in this pond
I once ran to this highway
In the quiet of this dawn

And come walk with me down by the lakeside
Listen to the sound of a hundred children sleeping
We can speak without really even speaking
We can pretend it’s other people’s secrets that we’re keeping

We once sat by this boathouse
Watching firework displays
We once toasted marshmallows
In this bonfire blaze

We once picked the wild berries
On the path to this old campground
We once stood on these tables
We once sang as the rains came down

And come walk with me down by the lakeside
Listen to the sounds of a hundred children sleeping
We can speak without really even speaking
We can pretend it’s other people’s secrets that we’re keeping

Take a little stroll down by the water’s edge
To the place where all the lovers used to go
Skip a stone along the surface and watch the ripples fade
With the memories of the ones we used to throw

We can walk along the edge of this foggy, moonlit shore
We can follow in the footsteps of so many years before
We are carved into this hillside
We are painted in these walls
We are alive in what is left
We are forgiven for our faults

And come walk with me down by the lakeside
Listen to the sound of a hundred children sleeping
We can speak without really even speaking
We can pretend it’s other people’s secrets that we’re keeping
