The Lot Behind St. Mary's-Lori McKenna

[00:10.99]We wanted to know when we'd be free [00:14.86]What life looked like [00:16.64]On the other side of that sanctuary [00:21.22]Believin' somehow we'd make them proud [00:25.21]Knowin' the sins they made and figuring [00:27.83]We could stay on common ground [00:36.80]Cigarette smoke in an August sky [00:40.71]Drinkin' the beers you convinced [00:42.98]Your older brother to buy [00:47.08]We hadn't make any of our mistakes [00:51.44]Our world was in the cradle [00:53.37]But innocence was in the grave [00:57.37]And I know we can't go back in time [01:01.85]But every now and then you look at me [01:04.19]And I know you wonder why [01:06.55]We can't get back to when [01:08.26]September was our only adversary [01:12.19]In the lot behind St. Mary's [01:26.19]Well I thought I'd be all you'd need [01:29.92]But your heart was in the dark [01:32.04]And mine was in the ****s [01:35.20]I'm sure the dreamer who built the first trapeze [01:40.20]Fell in love with someone [01:42.00]Who grew to resent the goddamn thing [01:45.68]And I know we can't go back in time [01:50.81]But every now and then [01:51.92]You look at me as if to wonder why [01:55.41]We can't get back to the love we made [01:58.08]Before our teenage dreams were buried [02:01.30]In the lot behind St. Mary's [02:09.01]St. Mary's [02:24.72]A nightlight glowed in the rectory [02:29.32]We told ourselves the pastor must be sound asleep [02:34.49]But now we're old enough to know he never slept [02:39.43]And that God's love is almighty [02:42.44]But our love is just bones and flesh [02:46.22]And I know we can't go back in time [02:50.42]But every now and then you you reach for me [02:53.18]And I close my eyes and try [02:55.39]To get back to that summer [02:58.01]And the blue jeans we were wearin' [03:01.09]In the lot behind St. Mary's [03:08.90]St. Mary's
