Park Song Lyrics

Woke up today a bit too late
Put on my shoes and got some coffee
Cranked out the tunes, I think it was Roxy
Went back to snooze until 8:30

Went to the bar they say is the most
Went by myself, but no one noticed
Wonder if I looked like a tourist
All that I could thing was "please don't blow this"

And we go, but they don't know us
Goes to show we're not the same
Keep it in, 'cause they don't know this
Let it out, but not today

Went to the park today
Watched all the dogs as they played
None of them barked, they just hanged
Think I'll buy a dog when I get paid

Saw the girl I know from my job
I think that she must think that I'm retarded
I act so dumb when I get started
Time to cut my hair and get it parted

And we go, but they don't know us
Goes to show we're not the same
Keep it in, 'cause they don't know this
Let it out, but not today

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

It seems as though this song is about a very lonely guy who repeats the same cycles day by day. His lonliness and sadness are festering within him and when he sings "keep it in cause they don't know this, let it out but not today" it feels as though he's implying something sinister as though he's going to take it all put on everyone.
