about

Denny Park is narrated by a couple recounting a climactic breakup in Seattle, Washington. They confess their obsession over the earth-shattering moment, as if that day immediately reassigned their reference of time. The recurring whistle, ascending chords, tropical vibe, and upbeat tempo aim to convey that if all has been lost, it may yet be found once more, as the finale of the song reveals.

lyrics

[Verse 1]
It was two years
Ten months ago
We let it all fall apart
Out in Denny Park
'Cause three years
And a day ago
Oh what the hell did we know
When we gave this thing a go?

[Verse 2]
It was in a second
And a second glance
We caught a glimpse of forever
Then politely we shook hands
It seemed so simple
As the crow would fly
But the path wound round and round
‘Til you fell right out of sight

[Chorus]
As the days went on
We thought that it was gone
But still in our hearts
There was Denny Park
What was once our place
The memories replay
To the beat of our hearts
Denny Park

[Verse 3]
The moon’s a mirror
Facing away
So you see the one you’ve been dreamin’
Been dreamin’ of all day
And in the night
A warm embrace
As if the one you love
Her breath upon your face

[Chorus]
As the days went on
We thought that it was gone
But still in our hearts
There was Denny Park
What was once our place
The memories replay
To the beat of our hearts
Denny Park

[Bridge]
That day
We were driving in your car
Somewhere down East Pine
And you said,
“What happens when you make the wrong choice?
When you go against fate?
Like GPS, does it just re-route you to a longer path?”

[Chorus]
Oh, as the days went on
We knew it all along
Still in our hearts
Denny Park
What was once our place
The memories replay
To the beat of our hearts
Denny Park

[Outro]
And to this day
I cannot say
Everything that we lost
A-wastin' those days
But I know
I’m what I am
And that I wasn’t what I wanted
To be for you then

And so it goes
And here we go
Despite that day in Denny Park
Two years, ten months ago
