lyrics

I come back to Michigan once a year
My mom and I make jerky out of deer
I learned to do so in high school
It’s something I never knew I’d use

I make a point to meet up with Brian
And we talk a while about how life’s been
I ask about all of our old classmates
Most of whom left our town, or left the state

But then we play songs in my basement
And part of me wonders if we could’ve made it
If I’d stayed there, and we made music
Those thoughts are nice, but I’m no longer suited

[for] Going back to the lake
[it] Never feels the same
Am I home if I see
It moving on without me

I think of when I met Jay
When I met him in sixth grade
Now he’s studying to be a cop
I’m not sure if he’ll make it or not

I think of Alex and Justin
And their younger cousins
Seeing them on New Year’s with their dad
Their grandparents, their uncles and aunts

I think of Nicole way back
During homecoming, sharing that last dance
I think of falling for Kelsey
For Morgan, Natasha, and Chelsea

I think of the decade that passed
Of when I saw Virginia last
How hard it was to leave then
It made it easier to do it again

I think of who I was once
That I haven’t changed much
Maybe I’m just losing
My grasp on how things used to be

But going back to the lake
Never feels the same
I’m home now, and I see
It’s still here for any version of me
