He sends his dreams out on wings into the night
He lights a cigarette, looks out across the city lights
Cut across his cheek, bullet in his pride
What kind of man wouldn't just run and hide
Every mistake he's made rings in his mind
He's gonna take it to the grave
Every drag he takes fills up his chest
Like the water from the lake
Candle light alone, she takes her dishes to the sink
The kids are waiting cross town, she doesn't even blink
She grabs her wallet and her keys, makes it to the door
Turns back to the empty house, no one really lives there anymore
Every mistake she's made rings in her mind
Now she thinks she's gonna break
Every breath she takes fills up her chest
Like water from the lake...
