Apartment 801

from A Thousand Hearts EP by Britt Kusserow

/

lyrics

The ceiling has its stains
and the couch has seen a lively past
watching like she always has
moved from place to place

There's nothing here to eat
but Airborne and Emergen-c
I use rabbit ears on my TV
for PBS and NBC

But I set things up the way
I thought that you might like it
all my furniture's meticulously placed
I can't control my thermostat
too hot or cold, and who needs that
but i think we'll be just warm enough
when you come to stay

I'm confused by love
wondrous in the morning light
when you search me with wide open eyes
you'll be here in a week

But sometimes I regress
and I think I'm damned I'm scared you'll leave
when you find out the rest of me
on VH1 or MTV

See I am still so reckless
like the time I broke that necklace
that she gave me in a letter
just before she went to Greece

Still so many pictures
every now and then I miss her
but maybe that's the consequence
of dreaming for the seas

The oven's way too small
but that's okay cause I don't bake
there's nothing to eat anyway
and nothing on the walls

You'll be here in a week
and I'll pick you up and drive you home
I love it when we're almost home
and you're dancing riding next to me

Alas, alas, there's nothing here
until you're here beside me
and I won't fear the noises of
my kitchen in the night

I hope you like my traffic cone
I stole from that convenience store
I hope you like the parts of me
I find so hard to fight
