City Love

i never liked this apple much

it always seemed too big to touch

i cant remember how i found

my way before she came around

i tell everyone

i smile just because

ive got a city love

i found it in lydia

and i cant 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

ive got a city love

i found it in lydia

and i cant 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, weve 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

ive got a city love

i found it in lydia

from the battery

to the gallery

its the kind of thing you only see

in scented, glossy magazines

and i cant remember life before her name
