SOMETHING ABOUT APARTMENTS

There was something about apartments
There was something about paying rent
You said you’d buy a house someday
But for now your place was just a place to stay
There was something about the cigarettes
There was something about the dive bars you couldn’t forget
There was something about being 21
You knew, eventually, that things wouldn’t be as much fun
There was something about the sex
There was something about the vest
There was something in the way you said you’d explore the Northwest
There was something about being reckless
There’s something in those grand notions
Something about trying to spell out our devotion
Something about the way her lips moved in slow motion,
Something about the place’s view of the ocean
There is something in the black and in the leather
There is something in the string that ties us all together
There is something on Capitol Hill and Queen Anne
There was something about getting older and not taking a stand
There was something in the house
There was something in the blouse
In the drama on the page, that you had to get out
There was something about getting older
There is something about how
The neighborhoods could slip away into the sand
There is something about the poetry
Can’t measures up to the deep cave inside the man
What did we leave in our apartment? Whoa, whoa
There was something about being young
Old folks, we thought we shouldn’t have listened to ‘em
They forgot about what it was like to be us,
And now that time is lost, they were only tryin’ to free us
One day the younger folks are gonna hear us preach
You hear the drone in the throngs of the kids in the street
We’ll have the wisdom from our years
But it will fall on ignorant ears
There was something about the way she said it
Generations have expressed it, but she nailed it
Memories are photos on a dusty shelf
And tonight I’m gonna look inside myself
Memories are photos on a dusty shelf
And tonight I’m gonna look inside myself
