lyrics

V1
I remember a house built on stilts down by the river
There was a girl there, she had hair the color of a cottonmouth
Her eyes were set so far apart
You couldn’t be sure she wasn’t looking away
Her eyes were set so far apart I almost gave my life away.

V2
I remember three generations of womenfolk telling me
Go out in the snow but stay away from the cove
And when I broke through the surface I could not feel the cold
And when I broke through the surface
The fish moved away so damn slow.

Ch1
I’ve forgotten so many things
My life seems like someone else’s dream.

V3
I remember the smell of fuel as we rode on the boat
Your girlfriend was standing on water at the end of a rope
And my skin felt like it could be the start of a whole new me
We held our heads over the edge
The foam and the wake were like sharks at her feet
We all sang Oh no.

V4
I remember just how flat the land was as it is now
Thunderheads rose straight off the ground
And I rode in the backseat pretending they were mountains
Cause with my mind way out west
When I wasn’t where I was I was happiest.

Ch2
I’ve forgotten so many things
My life seems like someone else’s dream.
