[Verse 1] You split at the hill into a hundred blue plans Each one with a coastline drawn on its hands I took the left turn, then I took the right Now I’m holding still in the middle of flight [Pre-Chorus] Every sign says, “This way, this way” I make a little shore and let the water stay [Chorus] Too many mouths, but I don’t run Too many roads, but I’m still one Kick, skip, turn—let the whole world shout I’m the lake where the rivers all peter out Too many mouths, but I don’t run Too many roads, but I’m still one Pick a blue, pick a view, pick a way around I’m the lake where the rivers forget to drown [Verse 2] A map in my pocket keeps changing its mind The compass points north, then it points to the pie I built little docks for the selves I could be Now they rent out their boats and they’re charging me [Pre-Chorus] Every sign says, “This way, this way” I make a little shore and let the water stay [Chorus] Too many mouths, but I don’t run Too many roads, but I’m still one Kick, skip, turn—let the whole world shout I’m the lake where the rivers all peter out Too many mouths, but I don’t run Too many roads, but I’m still one Pick a blue, pick a view, pick a way around I’m the lake where the rivers forget to drown [Bridge] If I choose one ocean, do the others disappear? If I stay right here, is the answer crystal clear? The water keeps on talking; I can’t hear a thing So I float a paper crown and let the minnows sing [Final Chorus] Too many mouths, but I don’t run Too many roads, but I’m still one Kick, skip, turn—let the whole world shout I’m the lake where the rivers all peter out Too many mouths, but I don’t run Too many roads, but I’m still one Pick a blue, pick a view, pick a way around I’m the lake where the rivers forget to drown [Outro] A hundred blue plans, all circling round A lake with its feet on the slippery ground
