You have forgotten the name of the lake
Where we learned to swim
It's been frozen for years now
I don't know if it will melt
The trees we planted won't let the sun in
We couldn't save the fires from the snow
We had to let it go
We turned cold in the snow
You have forgotten the name of the lake
Where we learned to swim
It's a simmering volcano
Still but violent
The trees we planted won't let the cool winds in
We couldn't save the fires from the snow
We had to let it go
We turned cold in the snow
Our hearts burned out and rusted
Do you remember
The words or the silence
The music or noise
The fires or snow?
You taught me the secret
How not to be scared
But the trees by the lake
We couldn't tear them all down
(We couldn't save the fires from the snow)
We had to let it go
We turned cold in the snow
Our hearts burned out and rusted
Our hearts burned out
We couldn't save the fires from the snow
We had to let it go
We turned cold in the snow
