Garden Of Elysian - Local Natives, Daedelus

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 going 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

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 passed the cell towers disguised 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

Marian Harlow, sitting quiet

Imagine if we had stayed

Tourniquet stems the 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
