Shriner's Park

[Verse 1]

I wonder what you're doing

In the night out there

Is a sad summer breath

Tangled in your hair?

Can you hear the lonely engines

Screaming through the town?

There's nowhere to run

When the darkness comes down

[Verse 2]

Is there a song inside of you

That you tried to forget

Like your fake ID

And your mom's cigarettes?

Does it take you back?

Is the vision intense?

You and me in Shriner's Park

Trying to make some sense

Try to make some sense

[Verse 3]

You were just seventeen

But your laughter was mild

You liked my dreams

You thought I was wild

Is there a rhythm in your step now

That reminds you of a dance?

Do you push it all away

'Cause you never took the chance?

[Verse 4]

You'd sneak out your window

When I'd come for you

I'd be waiting in the streetlight

On Eighth Avenue

You'd slip into my car

And we'd drive down past the fence

You and me in Shriner's Park

Trying to make some sense

Try to make some sense

Woah, trying to make some sense

[Bridge]

Did you feel like you were crazy

When they sent you far away?

Did no one have the answers

When you hung your head to pray?

You could not let yourself dream

Never dare believe

You could ever be more

Than you were born to be

[Verse 5]

Do you lock up your house

Like you locked up your past?

If I were to call

Could you free me at last?

Could you slip into my car?

Could we drive down past the fence?

You and me in Shriner's Park

Trying to make some sense

Trying to make some sense

[Outro]

Oh, yeah

Oh, we were trying

Trying

Oh

You and me

You and me

You and me

Oh

Oh, baby

Oh

Oh

Oh

Oh

Oh
