Lyrics

I gave up The Doors

I abandoned listening to The Doors.

And vintage clothing stores

I gave up on shopping at vintage clothing stores.

I sold all the sunglasses you left me in my drawer

I sold the sunglasses you left behind in my drawer.

I stopped flying south

I stopped traveling south.

And playing Modest Mouse

I stopped listening to Modest Mouse.

And I switched my job a hundred times

I changed jobs frequently.

And I almost bought a house

I came close to buying a house.

And I work right next door

I work near Frank Lloyd Wright's round door.

To Frank Lloyd Wright's round door

I commute using the trans-bay tube in San Francisco.

And leave in the trans-bay tube

I visit the San Francisco aquarium.

In the San Francisco aquarium

I don't love Los Angeles but still admire the Bay Area.

And I don't love LA

I pass by City Lights Bookstore, but it feels different.

Still a fanboy of the bay

I don't regret the day we parted ways.

I walk the block past City Lights Bookstore

I kept the charcoal New Balance Sweatshirt and wear it now.

But it doesn't feel the same

Expressing a desire to know something urgently.

And I don't curse the day

-

That we talked and walked away

-

But I kept the charcoal New Balance Sweatshirt

-

And I'm wearing it today

-

Oooooo

-

Oooooo

-

I wanna know

Expressing a longing to understand or remember something.

I wanna know now

-

I wanna know, I wanna know

Reflecting on mutual heartbreak and the remnants of a past relationship.

Do you remember

-

You broke my heart and I broke yours too

-

Mama, You took my heart and I took some too

-

You broke my heart and I broke yours too

-

Mama,You kept a part and I kept some too

-

And I don't live alone

I have company at home.

Got a bunny and Liz at home

I own a bunny and Liz (someone's name).

And an upright Baldwin

I have a Baldwin piano from Santa Marina.

From a lady down in Santa Marina

I left my old guitar in a baggage car.

And I left my old guitar

I have a souvenir from you in my closet.

In the locker of a baggage car

Reiterating the shared emotional impact of the past relationship and a piece of them that remains.

But I got your souvenir

-

In the back of my closet

-

You broke my heart and I broke yours too

-

Mama, You took my heart and I took some too

-

This is just to let you know

-

There's a piece of you I never let go

-

And I wonder do you carry me with you

-

Somewhere buried below

Wondering if the other person still carries memories of them.
