Donovan Woods - Man Made Lake Lyrics

I can open up this engine in any direction,
I can never get away from the shore,
And you can never lose sight of me,
Even if I might be,
Taking on water,
On a man made lake,

I used to lie in bed and still feel the motion,
Only a stone's throw away,
And when I was a kid I,
Thought it was the ocean,
Now I'm taking on water,
On a man made lake,

All of the trees beside it,
Every rock inside it,
Somebody's dad decided where they should go,
And when I was a kid I thought it was the ocean,
Now I'm taking on water on a man made lake,

I am just a boy I know,
Frozen in a picture,
What was that smile I made?
I was on a need to know basis,
And I didn't need to know that,
I didn't even know it was a man made lake,

I remember you so clearly, driving home from parties,
People never said shit in those days,
I'm laying in the back seat staring, at the headlights glaring,
Moving the opposite way,
I am completely safe,

All of the trees beside it,
Every rock inside it,
Somebody's dad decided where they should go,
And when I was a kid I thought it was the ocean,
Now I'm taking on water on a man made lake
