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

I tell everyone

I smile just because

I've 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

I tell everyone

I smile just because

I've 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

And 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 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've 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
