The Agreement Song
Lakes Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And you'll be my getaway
I'll be your land
And you'll be my shining sea
I'll be your fears and memories
And you'll be my mystery
I'll be your score
And you'll be my symphony
You can take my time
You can waste my time
You can can spend my time
If you would spend your time with me
I'll be your ground
And you'll be my gravity
I'll be your calm
You'll be my stormy sea
I'll be your fears and memories
And you'll be my mystery
I'll be your song
And you'll be my harmony
You can take my time
You can waste my time
You can can spend my time
If you would spend your time with me
You can take my time
You can waste my time
You can can spend my time
If you would spend your time with me
The Agreement Song by Lakes is a love song that speaks of a mutual agreement in a relationship. The lyrics "I'll be your home and you'll be my getaway" indicate that the singer is willing to be a supportive and comforting presence in their partner's life, while the partner can provide the much-needed break from reality. The lines "I'll be your land and you'll be my shining sea" suggest that the singer is ready to provide a solid foundation for their partner to flourish, and the partner can be their guiding light.
The lyrics emphasize an unspoken understanding that regardless of the differences between them, they complement each other. The words "I'll be your fears and memories, and you'll be my mystery" demonstrate how the couple is ready to accept each other's flaws and delve into the mysteries of each other's past. The imagery of "I'll be your score, and you'll be my symphony" portrays the harmony they share.
The chorus of the song reinforces the message of mutual agreement, where the singer is willing to give their time to their partner, and in return, they want to spend time with them. The repetition of "You can take my time, you can waste my time, you can spend my time if you would spend your time with me" highlights the importance of the partner's presence in their life.

I can't even explain the beauty of this song, but each individual instrument was all so amazingly done. I could listen to this song in each instrument alone over and over. And altogether it's just a knock out. And they play so perfectly connected. It's something special.

The ache of young love lost has ever been more beautifully portrayed. I'm just thankful that I am alive and able to hear this absolute masterpiece. One of the incredible pieces of music to exist.

The diction taps along, underscoring the tempo and emotional rhythms so beautifully. He may have a grumpy resting face, that Colin Meloy, but he also has the most lyrical soul.
