Cover art for Old School Reasons lyrics by Alkaline Trio

my asusmption is that "a lake michigan" is something or someone you pride, r hold very close to you, appreciate immensley, etc. i get this more from the braid song "lining lake michigan" though, a song about losing someone that says something like.. "Now I'm screaming because I can't talk to you... What was once my lake michigan is now a dismal hole" There ya go, maybe.
