[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)
