Local Natives Garden Of Elysian Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus] 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

[Bridge]
Marian Harlow, sitting quiet
Imagine if we had stayed
Tourniquet stems the blushing tide
Love isn't worship, love is change

[Chorus]
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
