City Love

I never liked this Apple much

It always seemed too big to touch

I can't remember how I found

My way before she came around



CHORUS

I tell everyone I smile just because

I got a city love, I found it in Lydia

And I can't remember life before her name



She keeps a toothbrush at my place

As if I had the extra space

She steals my clothes to wear to work

I know her hairs are on my shirts



CHORUS

I tell everyone I smile just because

I got a city love, I found it in Lydia

And I can't remember life before --



The day she called up and came to me

Covered in rain with dinnertime shadowing

And as her clothes spun we spooned

And I knew I was through when I said, "I love you"



Friday evening, we've been drinking

2 AM, I swear that I might propose

But we close the tab, split a cab

Call each other up when we get home

Falling asleep to the sound of sirens



I got a city love, I found it in Lydia

From the battery to the gallery

It's the kind of thing you only see

In scented, glossy magazines

And I can't remember life before her name
