Monogahela Park

[Verse 1]
It's been too fucking long
I haven't seen you since we were kids
And I rode a freight train out
To come visit you in Pitt
And you laughed so loud
Let your hand rest on my knee
I sip on a tonic cause I've been trying not to drink

[Pre-Chorus]
And I flash back to us in Monogahela Park
And the cheap bottle of Scotch we shared as the sky went dark

[Chorus]
I'll drive you home, it's getting late
You smile at us meaning we can stay
I'll take you home, you're on the way
We watch as the night starts a slow decay
I'll drive you home
It's getting late

[Verse 2]
Cherry bloats up your sink
And you say you wanna hear the band
And ask if it's still hard for me to still sing about Diane
And I kinda shrug, "I mean it's not really up to me"
I hand you a light and say, "Dolly still sings about Jolene"

[Pre-Chorus]
And I flash back to us in Monogahela Park
Where we're chain-smoking at dusk
Damaged teenage hearts

[Chorus 2]
I'll drive you home, it's getting late
You said it's been a year since you felt ok
I'll take you home, you're on the way
You lean in and I turn my face away
I'll drive you home
It's getting late

[Bridge]
My heart's a nail bomb
I built it so no one could ever get close again
I try to stay calm
You slam the door and I'm already shaking
I collapse on the street
I saw the look on your face I know what it means

[Outro]
I'll drive you home it's getting late
You leaned in and I turned my face away
