lyrics

I'll meet you at the Francis Apartments
On the corner of Aberdeen and 10
Where I took off your shirt for the first time
Where I won't hold you again

Where you would leave the front door open
So I could let myself in
I slept there every night for a whole year
But I won't sleep there again

Your old apartment, the farmer's market
Your broken window and tattered carpet
Pair of your shoes in my glove compartment
And cigarettes in the garden
Make love to you like a starving artist
Out on the steps feeling brokenhearted
Your old apartment

And there was never any silence
No peace or quiet, just two kids with heavy eyelids
We'd fall asleep to the sound of the sirens every night
Then you'd have scary dreams and wake up crying
Like you just saw somebody die
Our city lullaby
Kinda shitty lullaby
And in my head I wish I didn't see you sleeping with another guy
He's got you hypnotized
You've got me paralyzed
Guess that's the end of our storyline

Your old apartment, the farmer's market
Your broken window and tattered carpet
Pair of your shoes in my glove compartment
And cigarettes in the garden
Make love to you like a starving artist
Out on the steps feeling brokenhearted
Your old apartment

Your old apartment, the farmer's market
Your broken window and tattered carpet
Pair of your shoes in my glove compartment
And cigarettes in the garden
Make love to you like a starving artist
Out on the steps feeling brokenhearted
Your old apartment
