Local Natives - Garden of Elysian lyrics

[Local Natives - Garden of Elysian lyrics]

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
