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
and 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
