Garden of Elysian

In the time before we needed forgiveness

You said, meet me after school at the top of Elysian

Sharin' headphones and a plastic bottle of vodka

In the distance, the crowd goin' wild in the stadium

Orchestra playin' under the bandshell

Swayin' together like cathedral bells

They ring and ring, and ring, and ring, and ring

And I could only hear you singin'

'Cause she said, when do you think we'll stop feelin' 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 drivin'

Orchestra playin' under the bandshell

Swayin' together like cathedral bells

They ring and ring, and ring, and ring, and ring

And I could only hear you singin'

Mary in Harlem sittin' quiet

Imagine if we had stayed

Tourniquet stems are blushin' tide

Love isn't worship, love is change

Orchestra playin' under the bandshell

Swayin' together like cathedral bells

They ring and ring, and ring, and ring, and ring

And I could only hear you singin'

Orchestra playin' under the bandshell

Swayin' together like cathedral bells

They ring and ring, and ring, and ring, and ring

And I could only hear you singin'
