Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] My phone lights up like a bill I forgot Every buzz in my pocket knots up my blood I got emails, texts, and a map I never asked for Tells me where to go when I’d rather just run I miss when a knock on the door meant a friend Now everybody wants me in a second again [Chorus] Leave me at the lake Let that old world shake I wanna be gone, gone, gone Leave me at the lake Buy a cabin far away Where the trouble can’t find me at all (leave me at the lake) [Verse 2] I want pine trees leaning over cold dark water A screen door slappin’ in the summer wind No password, no pop-up, no voice in my hand Just a coffee on the stove and a dog at the fence If you need me bad, you can try by moon But I’ll be halfway to nowhere by noon [Chorus] Leave me at the lake Let that old world shake I wanna be gone, gone, gone Leave me at the lake Buy a cabin far away Where the trouble can’t find me at all (leave me at the lake) [Bridge] I don’t need the whole world in my palm I need a little hush, a little calm A dock, a dawn, and a decent chair And my name ain't everywhere [Chorus] Leave me at the lake Let that old world shake I wanna be gone, gone, gone Leave me at the lake Buy a cabin far away Where the trouble can’t find me at all (leave me at the lake)
