Sitting outside in the mountain air
Almost certain that I almost care
what might happen later tonight
My tongue’s been tied since you said the words
And I pretended that I never heard
I wish that I had made things right
I want you here with me, like I always will –
I need you here with me, the moment echoes still –
here with the mountains looking down on me
I can’t believe
That we came so close to
being what we both, now would need
The lake is calm
By trees so green
It sets the perfect scene
The clouds roll by
The sun is high
And I can never say goodbye
Living the life that I chose for me
I wish I knew then what I now can see
time goes on forever in the night
I have no words though I try so hard
I let down easy so I stand on guard
What if you tell me you moved on alright?
I need you here with me, the mem’ries set aside
I kept them safe for you, in case I change my mind
here with the mountains looking down on me
I can’t believe
That we came so close to
being what we need right now
The lake is calm
By trees so green
It sets the perfect scene
The clouds roll by
The sun is high
And I can never say goodbye
I miss the memories of what we could have been
I keep them safe for you, in case I ever let you in
CHORUS 3
here with the mountains looking down on me
I still believe
That we might one day turn reality into our dream
reality into our dream
The lake is calm
By trees so green
It sets the perfect scene
The clouds roll by
The sun is high
And I can never say goodbye
