Lakeview Lyrics

Man... this one's got a little soul in it

[Verse 1: Clark Bars]
How'd we get so far in so little time
Make me wanna press rewind when I get up on that lakeside
Where we used to take bikes late night
With the lake on the left and the woods on the right
Passing through on the back woods avenue
Middle school was the only thing we had to do
We were missing supervision how's that for rules
So when the bell rang we ran there after school
Winter at the pond when it used to freeze over
We would walk out on that water even though our parents told us
Not to do it, man we were clueless
Had to do some learning bout the world we were students
It's hard to look back when your forced to keep moving
And nowadays your always obligated to your duties
But I promise to my past I'll never change and I'll stay true
I get reminded everytime by the Lakeview

[Verse 2: Clark Bars]
Take a ride down Powell Creek Drive and you'll see it
But not the way the we did, undeafeated every single season versus Springridge
Reflecting at the lake got me dreaming
I should get big and put it on is my first thought
Optimistic climb but if you slide then it's the worst drop
But this isn't where the verse stop
I'm a keep going, I'm a keep flowing
Til I get big like a lima bean growing
On the path less taken, it kinda need mowing
I'll stay there and take care until I've got gray hair
I'll make sure they play fair at tax time they pay fares
This ain't rap this is jazz bring me Wayfarers
And anyways my eyes low
Smoking on that pinecone nuggets of that limestone
Wide reciever catch my drift like a cyclone
Mind blown kind of make you wonder where the time goes
Not the bank you can't save it like a patient
Waiting for the day the medication goes vacant
So you better have patience
Just an observation on a way that you can make it
So take it, erase it but face it
Life is just something that you can't get away with
So live it full, never change, always stay true
And maybe you can be reminded by the Lakeview
