Bed Of The Lake
His bedrooms a mess, there’s dirty clothes everywhere
And there’s dishes in the kitchen like the empire state building
Oh he ain’t taken out the rubbish in a couple of months now
But when she comes around there won’t be a speckle of dust to be found
His soul looks like a pretty deep blue sea
and you can swim in it for as month or so
But when the summer sun bakes all the water evaporates
and the cracks begin to show in the Bed of the Lake
Oh the cracks begin to show in the Bed of the Lake
His family is broken, nobody has spoken in God knows how long
Though there’s an elephant in the room, nobody knows what to do
So they sit there silently sippin' their wine
But when the neighbors drop by they all get along just fine
His home looks like a pretty deep blue sea
and you can swim in it for as month or so
But when the summer sun bakes all the water evaporates
and the cracks begin to show in the Bed of the Lake
Oh the cracks begin to show in the Bed of the Lake
No one or nothing is perfect, I know I am certainly not
When you scrape below the surface and you gaze behind the curtain
What you will find is just a person
His smile is wide and his eyes shine bright
and everybody falls in love with his charm
Though his laugh is the loudest and everybody says how proud they are
When the people take their leave, like a baby he cries himself to sleep
His soul looks like a pretty deep blue sea
and you can swim in it for as month or so
But when the summer sun bakes all the water evaporates
and the cracks begin to show in the Bed of the Lake
Oh the cracks begin to show in the Bed of the Lake
Oh the cracks begin to show in the Bed of the Lake x2
His bedrooms a mess, there’s dirty clothes everywhere
And there’s dishes in the kitchen like the empire state building
Oh he ain’t taken out the rubbish in a couple of months now
But when she comes around there won’t be a speckle of dust to be found
His soul looks like a pretty deep blue sea
and you can swim in it for as month or so
But when the summer sun bakes all the water evaporates
and the cracks begin to show in the Bed of the Lake
Oh the cracks begin to show in the Bed of the Lake
His family is broken, nobody has spoken in God knows how long
Though there’s an elephant in the room, nobody knows what to do
So they sit there silently sippin' their wine
But when the neighbors drop by they all get along just fine
His home looks like a pretty deep blue sea
and you can swim in it for as month or so
But when the summer sun bakes all the water evaporates
and the cracks begin to show in the Bed of the Lake
Oh the cracks begin to show in the Bed of the Lake
No one or nothing is perfect, I know I am certainly not
When you scrape below the surface and you gaze behind the curtain
What you will find is just a person
His smile is wide and his eyes shine bright
and everybody falls in love with his charm
Though his laugh is the loudest and everybody says how proud they are
When the people take their leave, like a baby he cries himself to sleep
His soul looks like a pretty deep blue sea
and you can swim in it for as month or so
But when the summer sun bakes all the water evaporates
and the cracks begin to show in the Bed of the Lake
Oh the cracks begin to show in the Bed of the Lake
Oh the cracks begin to show in the Bed of the Lake x2
