Garden of Elysian

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
