Park Talks Lyrics

Toeing the line

On the brink of youth

We talked of dreams

We talked of truth

Carrying buckets

Your ties were strong

Mine were by the thread

Barely hanging on

Passing the pipe

Like it's always been

You want to quiet them out

But you want them to see

Some people never know

On the radio

You reach to turn it off

But you're moving too slow

I breathed it in

I palmed the grass

Stretched from ear to ear

From unabashed laughter

After one of those nights

Boy you know the ones

When I'd put a summer flower

In the barrel of your gun

Gunning to get a decent plan together

Oh days like these they don't last forever

So toe the line

Until you can no more

I don't care who did it

I just want to know the score

Places remain

It's the people that change

You and me still keep each other sane

My brain tattooed with your full name

So let's take a walk

I want to hear those park talks

Places remain

It's the people that change

You and me still keep each other sane

My brain tattooed with your full name

So let's take a walk

I want to hear those park talks

My days were heavy from the pain in my chest

Combating evils outside my control

But when I met you I just forgot the rest

And let the laughter lead my soul

Talking 'til two

About the girl you liked

Just shooting the shit

Just wasting the night

I knew it then

Things would have to change

Forced to make a move

We couldn't stay the same

Popped the collar

Plans to disappear

You saw it in my eyes

Pushing through the fear

In many ways

We were older then

But you were never any good

Left by yourself

You were looking

For a place you weren't ignored

A place to find some peace

A place to heal the sores

I hope you found it

On the park with me

I was always there

You just couldn't see

Still gunning to get a good plan together

Oh days like those they didn't last forever

So toe the line

Until you can no more

I don't care who did it

I just want to know the score

Places remain

It's the people that change

You and me still keep each other sane

My brain tattooed with your full name

So let's take a walk

I want to hear those park talks

Places remain

It's the people that change

You and me still keep each other sane

My brain tattooed with your full name

So let's take a walk

I want to hear those park talks
