Parking Lots Lyrics - Wild Animals - Juliana Hatfield

they cut you open to get at your heart 

sounds like a metaphor for something but it's not 

like a bad memory lodged in your mind 

with your eyes taped shut 

a metaphor for blind 

when you were coming out roads were closing up 

fugitive kindness and love like raindrops 

it was so much more than the physical 

na na na na na na na na na na na na na 

don't break down 'til you get to the parking lot 

keep it together until you're in your car 

betrayed by the promise of a child 

that took away half your smile 

this is not where you thought you'd ever be 

when you finally made the move to leave 

so many questions still remain 

so many metaphors for pain 

they cut you open to get at your heart 

sounds like a metaphor for something but it's not 

like a bad memory lodged in your mind 

with your eyes taped shut 

metaphor for blind 

when you were coming out roads were closing up 

fugitive kindness and love just like raindrops 

it was so much more than the physical 

na na na na na na na na na na na na na 

don't break down 'til you get to the parking lot 

keep it together 'til you're safe in your car 

betrayed by the promise of a child 

that took away half your smile 

this is not where you thought you'd ever be 

when you finally made the move to leave 

so many questions still remain 

so many metaphors for pain 

i can't cry when i'm singing 

open my eyes 

made something to find
