Lyrics for Cavanaugh Park as interpreted by aur0ra

Cavanaugh Park Lyrics
At Cavanaugh Park
Where I used to sit
All alone in the dark
And dream about things
That I cannot say
you always said destiny would blow me away
And nothing's gonna blow me away

At Cavanaugh Park
Where you used to take me
To play in the sand
And said to me, "Son, one day you'll be a man.
"And men can do terrible things."
Yes they can

And there was never any place
For someone like me to be
Totally happy
I'm running out of clock and that
Ain't a shock
Some things never do change
Never do change

At Cavanaugh Park
We used to get high
Watching teams as they fought
They loved my friend Adam
But he always got caught
Man, that kid made fucking up look cool
Aren't we all so cool now? No

And there was never any place
For someone like me to be
Totally happy
I'm running out of clock and that
Ain't a shock
Some things never do change
Never do change

Never do change
Never do change
Never do change

At Cavanaugh Park
Where I used to think
That my life would be good
And I would do things
That I thought that I should
And no one's going to tear me down

And there was never any place
For someone like me to be
Totally happy
I'm running out of clock and that
Ain't a shock
Some things never do change

And there was never any place
For someone like me to be
Totally happy
I'm running out of clock and that
Ain't a shock
Some things never do change
Never do change
Never do change
Never do change

It's a great song, great lyrics. They shouldn't have changed it though. It was so much better on Ready...Break. I don't know why but the LTTW version sounds tacky. Meh, still a great song, still great lyrics. By far my favorite.

My friend told me to listen to these guys...and this song is my fav. "Son, one day you'll be a man.
"And men can do terrible things."...that line is just so...my father always says songs nowadays don't have classic lines in them, but I think that is a good one to remember.

that song made me cry the first time i heard it. actually, i was sitting in my friend's living room at probably 9 am with a bunch of people, and i was off in my own world listening to it and like sobbing. it reminds me or 'catcher in the rye' with the whole loss of innocence theme. growing up is scary.

I talked with the lead singer at the warped tour about this tune. He said the park was just a place he saw when he was lost. He then used the park as a relation to stuff when he was growing up. Like he said, "Cavanaugh" is really catchy. Great song Andrew.

The song is one of their best. although they're all good. I'm surprised that people haven't posted that many comments on good songs by SoCo. Hopefully some of the real fans out there will post comments on songs other than Konstantine.

This song makes me cry. I'm going off to college in about 2 weeks. It made me think about how somethings will change and some won't.

this is my favorite song of the moment. i love SoCo. they are just the complete and utter best i have ever had the privilge to listen. this and mulligan goes to war, along with i kissed a drunk girl are the absolute best songs, and i cant believe some people are talking trash about if u see jordan, how sad, i dont know maybe its just me or does EVERY song they do seem to just rock your socks off! yeah well SoCo rocks and everyone should have to bow down to their wonderfulness!
