No Picture GonnaKill Average	#1 by GonnaKill YOU at Sep 13, 1971 at 12:37 PM EST
	i personally don.t think its all that literal. he says "summers in park & recreation pools" like, the department of parks & recreation, not park as in a car. i think the "going to heaven" shoes refer to good shoes, like ones you'd wear to church. i think its basically about just being lost, confused, alone. he doesn.t know where to put his hands, and i think the reference is vaguely referring to a clock. he doesn.t know what to make of life; he doesn.t know where he.s going.

No Picture Drennan Professional Badass	#2 by Drennan Bragg at Feb 10, 1975 at 8:19 AM EST
	these lyrics are weird...no offense to any of you die hard promise ring fans out there :-P

No Picture Chris Average	#3 by Chris Tucker at Dec 31, 1976 at 3:50 PM EST
	I also have never heard the last line of this version. But I really thoroughly love this song. I love that The Promise Ring is almost sloppy sounding sometimes. It's not a poor quality recording or performance, it's just slightly more real than most canned studio recordings. I like that they sound like real people with real feelings. And I like that this song is written in a "stream of consciousness" sort of style.

No Picture Brad Lead Player	#4 by Brad Vincent at Dec 28, 1980 at 3:29 PM EST
	This is a very awkward point in this guys life. He is trying to start this romance with this man/woman however how does he start? He is a college drop out/graduate who is untravelled. He isnt one of those people that knows everything about music and whose favorite part of vacation is which shoes he will wear. He has spent his summers in park (not drive or neutral, probably sexual reference) and he is at a loss as to how to start this romance comfortably.

No Picture Derek Average	#5 by Derek Mayfield at Mar 24, 1984 at 12:13 AM EST
	the version of this song that i have does not have the last line "But on the other hand. I don't know if I'll talk my way out of this one tonight" this song make me feel more sad than any other song i have ever heard but maybe that just cause i'm crazy

No Picture Perfect Pervers Rhythm Player	#6 by Perfect Perversion™ at Jan 26, 1986 at 3:43 AM EST
	"Summers in park and recreation pools, and carsick vacations in size eleven in "I'm going to heaven" shoes." Ok, this sounds really weird, but on the other hand it's obvious what this song is about: "I don't know anything". This is indeed a vey sad song.

No Picture dylan Average	#7 by dylan pesino at Mar 25, 1986 at 4:05 PM EST
	this song is NOT very good at all

No Picture chris the pirat Lead Player	#9 by chris the pirate. arr at Jul 15, 1991 at 1:34 AM EST
	this is a good example of when one thing is bringing you down and you can't help but think of all the things that you don't like about yourself or things you miss or things that aren't going right and just nothing makes you feel good. you get bombarded by it all and don't know how to escape the bad mood (I don't know if I'll talk my way out of this one tonight.)

No Picture Jason Rhythm Player	#10 by Jason ...... at Apr 15, 1999 at 3:49 AM EST
	yae "eyes like july" has it more. the part about parks and recreation, and car sick vacation and shoes is all nostalgic about childhood. he is thinking back to when he was young with his family because like someone said earlier he is at an awkard time in his life after college where people are just pretty damn confused. i think its more of a frustrated, nostalgic, confused song.

No Picture Vezy Professional	#11 by Vezy at Jul 24, 1999 at 1:08 AM EST
	best song.

No Picture Goat Average	#12 by Goat Screwer at May 17, 2002 at 11:21 PM EST
	i dont have this version, but the last line sounds like Texas is the Reason's "There's no way I can talk myself out of this one tonight (the drinking song)". maybe they borrowed the line? (TITR's cd came out a year earlier). regardless, capn jazz and braid were known for using the same lines in songs, maybe it's something like that!
