You grew over me like moss climbs a tree
Twisted roots on rainy days
Smiling as we pulled away
We cycled down to the lake
As the sky began to wake
Our hands dangled in the breeze
With promises we'll never keep
Take my hand, run with me
Don't look back, come with me
Take my hand, run with me
Don't look back
One day, the lake will flood this town
And I'll hold your hand while you drown
One day, the sun will turn to dust
And there'll be no one left to remember us
You ripped your skirts and grazed your knees
From sneaking out at night to me
Your mother makes you swear a pact
With fingers crossed behind your back
You've always been a rotten girl
Savage and dirty and running wild
Do you still think of me slumped against the cherry tree?
Please take my hand, run with me
Don't look back, come with me
Take my hand, run with me
Don't look back
'Cause one day the lake will flood this town
And I'll hold your hand while you drown
One day the sun will turn to dust
And there'll be no one left in my dreams
You come out of the rain
Like a stray cat, I follow you back home
It's just a dream (You're just a dream)
You're not the girl I knew you used to be (it's just a dream)
It's just a dream, it's just a dream (You haunt me in my sleep)
It's just a dream (You held my hand as we sank into the deep)
You're just a dream
You're not the girl I knew (It's just a dream)
It's just a dream, it's just a dream
One day the lake will flood this town
And I'll hold your hand while we drown
One day the sun will turn to dust
And there'll be no one left to remember us
One day the lake will flood this town
And I'll hold your hand while you drown
One day the sun will turn to dust
And there'll be no one left to remember us
