this can’t be right

no I made a mistake

get the notes that i typed

at the edge of the lake

seen that scar like a star

from the back of the bar

sayin stay, baby stay where you are

check for the sketch

it’s in black, it’s a mess

but it’s clear who’s the one

by the mark on the chest

never knew I could do

what I hated in you

saying run, baby run, this is new

the moon’s not burnin’ through my skin tonight

so maybe that’s never been true

the view is different when you think you’re right

and the lake is nothin but blue

learned in the field

when to fight, when to yield

see if silver don’t kill her

it makes quite a shield

broken ice is the price

cut my leg more than twice

cryin no, baby no, just be nice

up every night

holdin up the light

to the blood on the bark

gotta paint it just right

makin sure I see

that it’s her, never me

laughin’ you, babe it’s you, can’t ya see

but the moon’s not glowing underneath my bed

so maybe that’s never been true

the view is different when your eyes are red

and the lake is nothin’ but blue

and they said man don’t ya feel just fine

like it’s been there this whole time

like it waited in your blameless spine

sayin dude it was just about time

sayin dude it was just about time

so maybe you knew and tried

fought off the change and died

maybe you screamed, my my

i know that this face is not mine

i know that this face is not mine

and the moons not burning through my skin tonight

so maybe that's never been true

the view is different when you’re never right

and the lake is nothing but blue
