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
