I woke up on the ground, again
Left the TV on, the government is shutting down
My day's wide opeN
I woke up on the ground,
And you were in a cardigan sweater with your horn rimmed glasses on
Can't see the world without them
Living in the pages of a book she read,
I sewed a farewell letter with a needle and thread,
And I called in sick for good
Sitting on an island with the girl I need,
I made a fat withdrawal from a cash machine
And I found a place to start again
With my art school girlfriend
Art school girlfriend
"I don't know where it is"
So I climb into bed awake
You got your camera out taking pictures of the mess we made
To save for later
I'm happy wasting away, it's cool,
You're in a portable dark room and I'm dreaming of the swimming pool
While I read your latest papers
Living in the pages of a book she read,
I sewed a farewell letter with a needle and thread,
And I called in sick for good
Sitting on an island with the girl I need,
I made a fat withdrawal from a cash machine
And I found a place to start again
With my art school girlfriend
Art school girlfriend
She's all I need,
She's all I need.
And so I'm living in the pages of a book she read,
I sewed a farewell letter with a needle and thread,
And I called in sick for good
Sitting on an island with the girl I need,
I made a fat withdrawal from a cash machine
And I found a place to start again
With my art school girlfriend
Art school girlfriend
