Lyrics
Love is like a wild lake
Looks pretty from a distance
Kind of a shock when you first jump in
Then it feels amazing
Let its depth support you
Not overwhelm you
Love is like a wild lake
So there we go
Grief is like a mountain
First impossibility imposing
It looms right over everything
Oh it can block out the sun
Later more like a companion
A landmark in the skyline
Grief is like a mountain
So there we go
And you are like a campfire
I’m Iike a guitar
Together we make magic or ashes
Some things are like other things
So there we go
Life is like a nice hotel
You’re just borrowing a room for a while
Kinda lucky to be here
So you may as well go for a swim
Be nice to the cleaners
Check out with a smile
Life is a like a nice hotel
So there we go
And you are like a campfire
I’m Iike a guitar
Together we make magic or ashes
Some things are like other things
So there we go
Failure’s like going to the gym
The thought of it is the hardest part
Ignore anybody judging you
They’re only afraid of it themselves
Sometimes it’s painful
But it makes you stronger
Failure’s like going to the gym
So there we go
And you are like a campfire
I’m Iike a guitar
Together we make magic or ashes
Some things are like other things
So there we go
Sometimes it’s all too much
Like drinking from a firehose
Like the scale of inequality
Like getting out of bed
But still we move on
Like we must
Some things are like other things
So there we go
Some things are like other things
Some things less so
That is all that I am
That is all that I know
Love is like a wild lake
Grief is like a mountain
Life is like a nice hotel
Failure’s like going to the gym
Sometimes it’s all too much
But still we move on
Some things are like other things
And you are like a campfire
I’m Iike a guitar
Together we make magic
Powerful on our own
But together
We’re keeping bodies warm
Together
We give each other reasons to carry on
Some things are like other things
So there we go
Some things are like other things
So there we go
