Man Made Lake

I can open up this engine in any direction
I can never get away from shore
You can never lose sight of me even if I might be
Takin′ on water on a man made lake
I used to lie in bed and still feel the motion
Only a stone's throw away
When I was a kid, I
I thought it was the ocean
Now I′m, I'm takin' on water on a man made lake
All of the trees beside it
Every rock inside it
Somebody′s dad decided
Where it all should go
When I was a kid, I
I thought it was the ocean
Now I′m, I'm takin′ 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
Drivin' home from a party
People never said shit those days
I′m laying in the backseat starin'
At the headlights glarin'
Movin′ the opposite way
And I feel completely safe
All of the trees beside it
Every rock inside it
Somebody′s dad decided
Where it all should go
When I was a kid, I
I thought it was the ocean
Now I'm, I′m takin' on water on a man made lake
I′m takin' on water on a man made lake
I′m takin' on water (I'm takin′ on water)
I′m takin' on water (I′m takin' on water)
(I′m takin' on water)
When I was a kid, I
I thought it was the ocean
Now I′m, I'm takin' on water on a man made lake
