about

Lakehouse is a very special song to us and the most emotionally raw on the EP. It’s an ode to the paradox of fearing vulnerability whilst longing for connection. Sometimes the words are just too heavy to say out loud.

lyrics

I took a walk
Around the edges of the water
Didn’t know when I was headed
But I just felt like l oughta
Yeah I’m sorry
That I never do much talking
I can feel the words escape me
When I go to speak, they fail me

I keep bowing from the weight of it all
What you told me at the lake house
I keep trying to make sense of it all
What you told me at the lake house

I find it harder
When the pain goes into hiding
It never lets me name it
And it never lets me find it
It creeps around me
Like an ivy on a tower
It holds me like a mother
Just enough to watch me cower
Like a dog who knows the end is coming
Just around the corner
It takes me by surprise
But I embrace it like a brother

I keep bowing from the weight of it all
What you told me at the lake house
I keep trying to make sense of it all
What you told me at the lake house
I keep bowing from the weight of it all
What you told me at the lake house

And when you told me that your pain, it sneaks up on you
Like a spectre in the rear view
You know it’s there but it can’t touch you
I felt my own ghosts
They were reaching out to hold you
Oh I wish that I’d have told you
Wish that I’d have told you

I keep bowing from the weight of it all
What you told me at the lake house
I keep trying to make sense of it all
What you told me at the lake house

Your pain it creeps around you
Like an ivy on a tower
Oh it holds me like a mother
Just enough to watch me cower
Like a dog who knows the end is coming
Just around the corner
It takes me by surprise
What you told me at the lake house
