Garden Of Elysian
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
In the time before we needed forgiveness
You said
Meet me after school at the top of Elysian
Sharing headphones and a plastic bottle of vodka
In the distance, the crowd goin' wild in the stadium
Orchestra playing under the bandshell
Swaying together like cathedral bells
They ring and ring and ring and ring and ring
And I could only hear you singing
'Cause she said
When do you think we'll stop feeling like children?
'Cause the last time I asked my mom she said she still did
As we pass, the cell towers disguise like palm trees
She laid out across my lap and we kept driving
Orchestra playing under the bandshell
Swaying together like cathedral bells
They ring and ring and ring and ring and ring
And I could only hear you singing
Mary in Harlem sitting quiet
Imagine if we had stayed
Tourniquet stems are blushing tide
Love isn't worship, love is change
Orchestra playing under the bandshell
Swaying together like cathedral bells
They ring and ring and ring and ring and ring
And I could only hear you singing
Orchestra playing under the bandshell
Swaying together like cathedral bells
They ring and ring and ring and ring and ring
And I could only hear you singing
