“‘Parking Lot’ is about the feeling of being held captive by someone else’s rage,” KC explains. “Then the song concludes with the realization that I can take my power back.”

[Verse 1]
Sitting in the parking lot
You punch the steering wheel
Then I got out of the car
And laid on the ground
Digging in my shoulders
Gravel in the concrete
You ripped your T-shirt
Standing right in front of me
[Pre-Chorus]
And I cried 'cause I know
You left me counting all the ways it went wrong
And I cried to a god I don't believe in
[Chorus]
I don't understand it
Why I'm still stuck in the water
Break the fucking habit
If that's just all that I am
[Verse 2]
Sitting in the parking lot
Second story window
Listen to the barking dog
So lonely only heaven knows
[Pre-Chorus]
Why we cried to come in
You left me counting all the ways that I've sinned
And I criеd 'cause I know I don't believе it
[Chorus]
I don't understand it
Why I'm still stuck in the water
Break the fucking habit
If that's just all that I am
[Outro]
I let it kill me for a lifetime
I gave everyone my power
You left me hanging on a landline
I let you crush me to a powder
The earth remains when I land
Back where I began
