Valley For Me - lake song Lyrics

Aren't you afraid
To go back to school
Van got a Razr
I was never that cool
We can pretend
Pretend that it's nothing
Just keep our heads down
So we can't see what's coming
A swim at the lake
The last of the summer
Bursting our lungs
Just trying to stay under
I was an island
Too small for the ocean
And August would not wait
At the arcade
On top of the mall
We'd shoot for a high score
And sink every ball
We could pretend
Ya, pretend that it happened
When I reminiscence
I embellish the caption
Like don't you remember
Last strawberry moon?
When I slicked my hair back
Kinda looked like a goon
You were an eyelash
Asleep on my shoulder
But August could not wait
Was it a dream?
Not sure if I know
But that's how it was
Or so it goes
I was in love
With the place at the time
Lost at the lake
All the pieces I'd find
I wanted love
But it was the wrong time
(I) Longed for the lake
And the peace I would find
We can pretend
Pretend that it's nothing
We can pretend
Pretend it's not coming
We can pretend
Pretend that it's all right
I'll be the shade if you are the sunlight
We can pretend
Pretend that it happened
We can mistake
Mistake it for passion
We can pretend
Pretend that it's all right
We can pretend
Ya, we can
Ya, we can
