Today's mantra is gratitude
The days are full of storybook romance
the myriad of thoughtful acts
A million ways I'm into you
I'm never getting over you
I'm sorry for exposing you
I know you hate it when I do
But I had to write one for my better half
The days are new, the nights unwind
You break my world, you change my mind
Run out of love, come down from life
Run out of pain, my life has changed
It's obvious it's all been said in cheesy poems and chick flicks
The mushy shit that people say, it makes us chuckle everyday
So how can I express to you the recent dramas we've been through
I wouldn't have been fine without your help
The days are new, the nights unwind
You touch my world, you change my life
Run out of love, run out of life
Come down from hate, the world has changed
But we may never have met if it weren't for him
Hey Derrick, maybe somehow you're listening
Today's mantra is gratitude
You changed my life
I'm sure you knew
I'll never forget the words that you said
The life that you lead
I'll never forget, I'll never forget
Cavanaugh Park
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'd 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
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
At Cavanaugh Park
Where I used to think that this life would be good
And I would do things that I thought that I should
And no one's gonna tear me down
And there was never any place
For someone like me to be totally happy
I'm runnin' out of clock and that ain't a shock
Some things never do change
Where I used to sit all alone in the dark
And dream about things that I cannot say
you always said destiny'd 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
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
At Cavanaugh Park
Where I used to think that this life would be good
And I would do things that I thought that I should
And no one's gonna tear me down
And there was never any place
For someone like me to be totally happy
I'm runnin' out of clock and that ain't a shock
Some things never do change
Never do change
