Lakehouse Lyrics

[Verse 1: Ragnar Þórhallsson, Nanna Bryndís Hilmarsdóttir, Nanna & Ragnar]
Oh, I miss the comfort of this house
Where we are, where we are, where we are, where we are
The floor under our feet whispers out
"Come on in, come on in where it all begins"

[Chorus: Nanna]
Can you chase the fire away?
Can you chase the fire away?

[Verse 2: Ragnar, Ragnar & band]
We climbed up to the top in worn-out shoes
But she ran down, she ran down, she ran down to the house
A fox that gains our trust, but then breaks it as he walks
Away from us, away from us


[Chorus: Nanna]
Can you chase the fire away?
Can you chase the fire away?
(Ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh) In the fall, we sleep all day
(Ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh) In the fall, we sleep all day

[Refrain: Nanna, Band]
(Where we are, where we are)
We sleep all day (Where we are, where we are)
(Where we are, where we are)
We sleep all day (Where we are, where we are)
(Where we are, where we are)
We sleep all day (Where we are, where we are)
[Chorus: Nanna]
Can you chase the fire away?
Can you chase the fire away?
(Ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh) In the fall, we sleep all day
(Ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh) In the fall, we sleep all day

[Outro: Band]
La-la-la-la-la, la-la-la, la-la, la-la, la-la
La-la-la-la-la, la-la-la, la-la, la-la, la-la
La-la-la-la-la, la-la-la, la-la, la-la, la-la
La-la-la-la-la, la-la-la, la-la, la-la, la-la
La-la-la-la-la, la-la-la, la-la, la-la, la-la
La-la-la-la-la, la-la-la, la-la, la-la, la-la
La-la-la-la-la, la-la-la, la-la, la-la, la-la
La-la-la-la-la, la-la-la, la-la, la-la, la-la

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
