"Indigo Park" lyrics

"Indigo Park"

Indigo, roses in spring
The air was heavy as the thunder did sing
I take a plunge in the old-time dark
Pulled her on in and put her in park
There's a heightened sense of possibility
When you don't know shit and you're young and you're green
Turbulent twinge, it won't ease
And I'm in with you only in my dreams

Oh let these days be your delight, captured in rhythm and rhyme
Watch these drawn lines trace your life's most scintillating times
Falling, flying, up, down, lit up like a diamond hiding in the rough
Succeed or fail it's all the same
It's only life, and life is enough (so whatever, it's life and life only)

Learned how to drive an old '41 car, first time stick shift
Carter Braxton Navarro Finn taught me how to enter with a big big hit
I made my great big entrance
Greeted by the collective indifference of the neighborhood pool
I may be slippin', slidin' back, fading away from your view

Oh let these days be your delight, captured in rhythm and rhyme
Watch these drawn lines trace your life's most scintillating times
Falling, flying, up, down, lit up like a diamond hiding in the rough
Succeed or fail it's all the same
It's only life, and life is enough (so whatever, it's life and life only)

Pushing up through, kimberlite blue
Underground root, in a turbulent flow
Pushes up through, through the ground blue
Sunlight diamonds water there at the concrete's end
Sharp edges, looking out for you

Diving in head first, jackknife
Perfect ten- hope it never never never ends

Oh let these days be your delight, as if you're living in a dream
Watch these drawn lines trace your life's most scintillating scenes
Falling, flying, up, down, lit up like a diamond hiding in the rough
Succeed or fail it's all the same
In the end life is enough
Captured in rhythm and rhyme (never quite get there)
Falling, flying, up, down, lit up like a diamond hiding in the rough
(Oh but wait til I get there)
Succeed or fail it's all the same
In the end life is enough
So whatever
Whatever
