lyrics:
How’d I ever know you
Quite like I was told to?
Make sure you love each other nice now
Oh, I was hypnotized
Caught up in the northern lights
Driving around in circles
Singin’ hey now
What was that sound?
Lighting a match
Just to f-freak you out
Oo, then on the other side
I saw fifty yellow lines
Pushing up against the window
And with one almighty lightning strike
The Great Lake rose up behind
Said, “Baby, you best turn around”
So I went back
I went back to the shore
To follow Her pathway
Forevermore
Crushin’ the blades, great freight train
Make the wind go away
And if that mockingbird don’t sing
Watch her do the twist again
And if she’s twisted up too tight
Let the dawn cut through the night
And if that day do slowly break
Make your way down to the lake
