On screen lyrics
Light Upon the Lake by Whitney
www.whitneytheband.com
[Verse 1]
Fire across the plains
Light upon the lake
Lonely haze of dawn
When old days are gone
[Chorus]
Will life get ahead of me?
Will life get ahead of me?
[Verse 2]
All these times will change
I can’t turn away
Planes are heading home
When old friends are gone
[Chorus]
Will life get ahead of me?
Will life get ahead of me?
What have the artists said about the song?
Ehrlich: “[‘Light Upon The Lake’] was the last song that we wrote, and it kind of encapsulated everything. It kind of put a punctuation mark at the end of the transition we were going through. The lyrics can be interpreted as being about the breakup of the last band, or the relationship we were going through, but it stood out. It’s still my favourite song, I think.”
I've also heard him say that the song is about anxiety.
