i think the "drowning in the lake, i only left her for a couple of seconds" part refers to a guy not paying attention to his girlfriend or neglecting her. she ends up "drowning," which either refers fireclty to her leaving, or to her becoming drowned emotionally or something. either way, she ends up leaving him and he obviously regrets it, and the rest of the song is pretty self explanatory. he seems to be justifying with himself like "i only left her for a little bit. how did this happen?"
