Today's the day I realized
That I could be loved
It echoed though the park last night
He wasn't our son
He belonged to everyone

And this loss isn't good enough
For sorrow or inspiration
It's such a loss for the good guys
Afraid of this life
That it just is
Because everybody dies

And this loss isn't good enough
For sorrow or inspiration
It's such a loss for the good guys
Afraid of this life
That it just is
Everybody

And this loss isn't good enough
For sorrow or inspiration
It's such a loss for the good guys
Afraid of this life
That it just is
Because everybody dies

    i love the wordplay in "It echoed though the park last night" i don't necessarily like the meaning behind it, but it is clever considering it happened in Echo Park. it's weird how such a sad event could inspire a seemingly uplifting song. this one doesn't seem like one of those depressing regret songs or a song like Hear You Me by Jimmy Eat World where they think about what they didn't do. this song instead makes you remember all the good things about him and how even though it was unfortunate, everybody dies. R.I.P., Elliott
