The Apartment

These walls will eat me if I don't get outside
Seeing life through a window, a screen inside my mind
Ok, I know, I'm acting like a child
Re-reading Gatsby for the hundredth time

We talk in circles and analyze our friends
Bring up the album like it's never gonna end
You work so hard you could make somebody sick
Circuit board sleeping, it's your nervous tick

Never know until you find it
Never know until you find it
Never know until you find it
Never know until you find it

Springtime summer can I press rewind?
Moving mountains, leave our past behind
I turned my back to the city where I grew
Can't stand old money and I can't afford the new
You flip through Joyce like it was something in the Times
Now you're slinging cold ones
‘Cause they could never compensate your mind

Fresh out of college and nothing more to do
Neurotic burn-out and I'm only 22
Action's impossible when you're bored and alone

Stain out the carpet, and screaming in the hall
Think about the end, death according to Saint Paul
First year of marriage was gone in a flash
Spent in listless day dreaming and taking out the trash
