I wonder what you′re doing in the night out there
Is the 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
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 Shriners Park trying to make some sense
Trying to make some sense
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?
You'd sneak out your window when I′d come for you
I′d be waiting in the street light on Eighth Avenue
You'd slip into my car and we′d drive down past the fence
You and me in Shriners Park trying to make some sense
Trying to make some sense
Oh, trying to make some sense
Did you feel like you were crazy when they sent you far away?
Did no one have 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
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 Shriners Park trying to make some sense
Trying to make some sense
Oh yeah, oh you were trying
Trying
Oh, you and me
You and me
You and me
Oh
Oh baby
Oh
Oh
Oh
Oh
