You came and went to find a better life
You ran towards the shore
Away from all the city lights

That you never called home

You loved that autumn breeze

Like the colors warm the trees
It makes sense after all
With your eyes just like the skies of fall

Clear, cool, and free, in awe of all they see

So I'll be there in the end

By Lake Michigan, Lake Michigan
My heart will beat my head
Yeah it's crazy but it's true

Like the cherry tree we grow in two's

You're wrapped up in light

And you're flowing with the tides
They pull you away
But the hardest thing I've learned is staying

Right where you need to be
Cause we're cursed with being free


So I'll be there in the end
By Lake Michigan, Lake Michigan
My heart will beat my head

Yeah it's crazy but it's true
Like the cherry tree we grow in two's
