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

I saw Andrew play this live last weekend.
Best moment of my life :]
He said he wrote it about growing up, which was ironic cus he wrote it at age 16.
I think the meaning is pretty clear.

i will marry him :]

this song is amazing. It's one of the few soco songs with lyrics that are very straight forward-no trying to interpret exactly what the lyrics mean. The way it's written is very relatable, i think everyone gets the sense of viewing their own life the same way. basically, it's just taking a very honest look at growing up

I think this is about growing up, and how our perspectives change over time. And about learning to think for ourselves, and the weird feelings that come with growing up.
