Lake George Lyrics by The Favors
I’m licking my wounds
Blowing smoke on the roof
The thought of you anywhere makes me cry
Sea salt in the cut
It heals, but it sucks
Times change and people get left behind
If you don’t mind forgetting this call
That’d be nice if you tried forgetting me, too
I’d be just about anyone else tonight
Who’s not loving you, who’s not loving you
I’d take just about anyone home tonight
To stop loving you, to stop loving you
Boat house on the shore
On stilts, nothing more
The thought of you selling it to get by
Seasick in the wake
Ashes in the lake
Am I gonna think about you till I die?
If you don’t mind forgetting this place
Be so kind if you tried forgetting me, too
I’d be just about anyone else tonight
Who’s not loving you, who’s not loving you
I’d take just about anyone home tonight
To stop loving you, to stop loving you
I’ve seen the place you were born
The look on your face in the morning
Before you’re awake, you would keep me warm
I’d be just about anyone else tonight
Who’s not loving you, who’s not loving you
I’d take just about anything to help tonight
To stop loving you, to stop loving you
