	It might be for the better For just one night I thought it was you When I woke up I had to remember I’ll never know if it could be you I would change my scenery Move to the mountains from the sea I ‘d change the office for a shed And change my flat share for your bed It might be for the better For just one night I thought it was you When I woke up I had to remember I’ll never know if it could be you Am I too weak or way too brave (Who am I?) To honour the promise that I gave (What do I need?) But the thought keeps me awake (Is it you?) I’ll never see your hair blow baby the lake It might be for the better For just one night I thought it was you When I woke up I had to remember I’ll never know if it could be you

about

A beautiful acoustic version of "By The Lake", a track which officially announced two new artists to the ever-expanding Colemine universe: Vocalist and producer, Pale Jay, and Steve Okonksi (as Okonski) of Durand Jones and the Indications. The collaboration occured absolutely organically and is a perfect blend of their individual artistic sounds.The lyrics come from a conversation that Pale Jay had recently with a close friend who was pondering moving to a new city to pursue a budding love affair, but ultimately chose to stay put because they had not overcome an old heart break. When he heard Okinski’s song, "Runner Up" from his album, Okonski, he immediately latched onto the lingering feeling of speaking to his friend and wrote "By The Lake" in the next thirty minutes after chopping up Okonski's piano samples.
