Apartment #2

[Verse 1]
I left the newspaper on the porch
For the birds to read
And when the wind
Wandered in
I struggled back to sleep

[Chorus]
I heard a noise
From across the room
A cobweb serenading a telegram to
The kettle in the kitchen
Who whistled “it had to be you”
Then the curtains dropped
The sofa made excuses
The secondhand stopped
I made it to the floor
Where I pined over you
I made it out the door
And moved out of apartment number two

[Verse 2]
The neighbors theorized
The lovebirds rebounded with sky
My days moved on with you gone
And I maintained rainless eyes
New branches grew
For me to perch onto
Newspaper body count
New reasons to miss you

[Chorus]
I heard a noise
From across the room
A cobweb serenading a telegram to
The kettle in the kitchen
Who whistled “it had to be you”
Then the curtains dropped
The sofa made excuses
The secondhand stopped
I made it to the floor
Where I pined over you
I made it out the door
And moved out of apartment number two
