Shriner's park Lyrics

Shriner's Park
(M. Etheridge)

I wonder what you're doing
In the night out there 
Is a sad summer breath tangled in your hair 
Can you hear the lonely engines
Screaming through the town
There's no where 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 Shriner's Park 
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 8th Avenue
You'd slip into my car 
We'd drive down past the fence
You and me in Shriner's Park 
Trying to make some sense 

Did you feel like you were crazy 
When they sent you far away
Did no one have the 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 Shriner's Park 
Trying to make some sense
