Shriner's Park
I wonder what you're doingIn the night out thereIs a sad summer breath tangled in your hairCan you hear the lonely enginesScreaming through the townThere's no where to runWhen the darkness comes down
Is there a song inside of youThat you tried to forgetLike your fake ID and your mom's cigarettesDoes it take you backIs the vision intenseYou and me in Shriner's ParkTrying to make some sense
You were just seventeenBut your laughter was mildYou liked my dreams you thought I was wildIs there a rhythm in your step nowThat reminds you of a danceDo you push it all awayCause you never took the chance
You'd sneak out your windowWhen I'd come for youI'd be waiting in the street light on 8th AvenueYou'd slip into my carWe'd drive down past the fenceYou and me in Shriner's ParkTrying to make some sense
Did you feel like you were crazyWhen they sent you far awayDid no one have the answersWhen you hung your head to prayYou could not let yourself dreamNever dare believeYou could ever be moreThan you were born to be
Do you lock up your houseLike you locked up your pastIf I were to callCould you free me at lastCould you slip into my carCould we drive down past the fenceYou and me in Shriner's ParkTrying to make some sense
