Demo from upcoming EP "Corona Park"

lyrics

We played with kinetic sand
As we were hiding from the snow.
You stayed right by my side
'Til my mom drove me home.
It doesn’t feel
Like it was more than 6 years ago.
I sat back with my head high,
My smile far too wide,
And I don’t think I’d ever loved anyone
As much as I loved you,
In the gift shop,
When you said that I was cool.

We’re talking again now.
I’m happy we’re friends
But Corona Park
Was one of the best days of my life
And I’ll believe that until
The end.

I was singing “Fearless”
As I skipped in my blue dress
Along the stained glass windows
Of the great hall that was always closed.
My dad sang his apologies
And I cried at the first time he had ever said, “I’m sorry.”
Justin said I looked like a fairytale
And I took all the plastic fish.
I didn’t get to eat my cake
But I think that was fine.
We lost about an hour
When we thought we’d misplaced Dylan Klein.

My sister and I were on the Jumbotron,
Thousands of people
Saw our faces on the screen.
My mother laughed
And I guess I did too,
They blasted Natasha Bedingfield
And she got booed.
I guess they’d never had a pocket
Full of sunshine in their lives.

My mother streaked to the sky,
Rode a capsule in '65
And lay under the Tent of Tomorrow
In the center of the center of the world.
She saw flying cars
And underwater fathers,
She held her mother’s hand
As they trudged through the grasses
That arose from the ashes of a wasteland.
And Corona Park might’ve been the best day of her life.

Corona Park waved me home,
The first outstretched hands
After Berlin flown.
Corona Park held hands I know,
I kiss the ground,
A holy home.

We played with kinetic sand
As we were hiding from the snow.
You stayed right by my side
'Til my mom drove me home.
It doesn’t feel
Like it was more than 6 years ago.
I sat back with my head high,
My smile far too wide,
And I don’t think I’d ever loved anyone
As much as I loved you,
In the gift shop,
When you said that I was cool.

We’re talking again now.
I’m happy we’re friends
But Corona Park
Was one of the best days of my life
And I’ll believe that until
The end.
