Apartment Lyrics

Three days from now

I'll be away in Kingston

Hyper-aware of the crowd

And ready to leave in an instant

Three weeks from today

I will be deep in a stupor

A camera-worthy display

The empathy may elude her

Three months from now

I'll be alone when the wind hurts

And the sky is carpeted cloud

I just want to throw on a t-shirt

Six months from today

Wiping snow from the window

Circling over the way

That I hit you with a low blow

Three years from tonight

I won't remember your body

But I will remember your light

Alone in an airport lobby

And I know I was right

'Cause I feel a little bit lighter

But I still dream all the time

That I was more of a fighter

And that I'm still on the fence

And I have you on a tether

And that's where the dream always ends

And I wake up with a tremor

When I'm old and I'm hardened

I may tend to forget

The feeling of our first apartment

Until there's a sudden vignette
