[Verse 1] I heard about your appearance at the party that no one went to
In your own sick way, you've always given me everything
I never want to see you so all alone
Pick up the phone and breathe to me

[Chorus #1] I don't know why I feel more drunk when I get sober
And I'll never know why you let it pull you under
All I ever needed was a real friend
And I got one in Lake Superior

[Verse 2] You wouldn't believe the price of being honest with yourself (No)
You'd be tossing a dime to the man in the cardboard box
I want to wake up when it's over
Wake me up and marry me

[Chorus #1] I don't know why I feel more drunk when I get sober
And I'll never know why you let it pull you under
All I ever needed was a real friend
And I got one in Lake Superior
In Lake Superior

[Instrumental Break] [Chorus #2] I don't know why I feel more drunk when I get sober
And I'll never know why you let it pull you under
You don't have to say it to mean it, I know

[Chorus #3/Outro] (In Lake Superior)
All I ever needed was a real friend and I got one
(In Lake Superior)
All I ever wanted was some good friends and I've got some
(In Lake Superior)
All I ever needed was a real friend and I got one
(In Lake Superior)
All I ever wanted was some good friends and I've got some
