Playing House

In a town by all the birch trees
Where my love said there'd be fallen leaves
It's a distance we can travel
It involves no parting of the seas
It's a cabin on a lakeside and it's empty

Take the road along the lakeside
Hang a left before the great divide
Hope we get there after nightfall
So we'll have nowhere to wait and hide
Till tomorrow, till tomorrow
It'll look just the same

In the cabin with the birch trees
We'll uncover all our fantasies
It's a distance we can travel
To forget the thickening unease
Let us leave here
Let us go there where it's waiting

We will find the path to go there
When we get close, breathe the open air
I'll play mom and you play daddy
And we'll ruin us beyond repair
At the cabin on the lakeside
If we take things too far

Hold on
For a little longer
