City Love
John Mayer

I never liked this apple much
it always seemed too big to touch
I never knew just 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
at dinner time, 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 closed the tab
split a cab
called each other up when we got home
falling asleep to 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
