One Bedroom Apartment
Cherished Memories in Humble Spaces
Lyrics
It's gonna take a minute to get your key unstuck
Describing a difficulty in opening the door of the apartment
And when you walk in it
The initial impression of the apartment is not impressive
It's not gonna look like much
Setting expectations that the apartment may not be visually appealing
The appliances are from the '80s
Noting the outdated appliances in the apartment
They've been talkin' renovations lately
Mentioning discussions about renovating the apartment
If I were you, I wouldn't hold my breath
Advising not to expect immediate improvements
I kinda think it's perfect as is
Expressing contentment with the apartment as it is
There's a wine stain on the living room carpet
Pointing out a stain on the living room carpet from a previous event
Saturday girls' night knocked it over
Explaining that the stain resulted from a girls' night activity
Yeah, 'cause we were dancin'
Linking the stain to dancing during the girls' night
Oh, these walls saw everything
Highlighting the walls as silent witnesses to various life events
From fallin' in love to chasin' a dream
Summarizing the range of experiences the walls have witnessed
Yeah, a lot of growin' up happened
Acknowledging the maturity and personal development that occurred
It ain't a mansion in a millionaire's market
Emphasizing that the apartment is modest in a wealthy real estate market
But you'll be surprised at the memories you can fit
Contrasting the small size with the richness of memories
In this one bedroom apartment
Affirming the significance of the one bedroom apartment
You won't believe the people you can cram into that kitchen
Highlighting the communal atmosphere in the kitchen
They're gonna make it feel like home
Stating that people can make the apartment feel like home
Even when it's home you're missing
Addressing the emotional connection even when away from home
And I know it's just a parking lot view
Noting the simple view from the apartment
But sitting on the floor of that bedroom
Describing a significant moment in the bedroom
You're gonna plan your whole life
Projecting future life planning within the apartment
Yeah, that lease is gonna fly by
Anticipating that the lease period will pass quickly
There's a few holes from hangin' up pictures
Mentioning the physical traces of hanging pictures on the walls
And I lost time in that bathroom mirror
Recalling time spent in front of the bathroom mirror
Some tears and a lot of laughin'
Noting a mix of emotions experienced in the apartment
Oh, these walls saw everything
Reiterating the walls as witnesses to diverse life moments
From fallin' in love to chasin' a dream
Reviewing the spectrum of experiences from love to pursuing dreams
Yeah, a lot of growin' up happened
Acknowledging personal growth and maturation
It ain't a mansion in a millionaire's market
Emphasizing the modest nature of the apartment in a wealthy market
But you'll be surprised at the memories you can fit
Reiterating the surprising capacity for memories in a small space
In this one bedroom apartment
Affirming the meaningful memories within the one bedroom apartment
And I hope this place does for you what it did for me
Expressing hope that the apartment has a positive impact on the new occupant
One day you'll see why it's tough for me to leave
Anticipating difficulty in leaving the place due to its significance
That wine stain on the living room carpet
Reiterating the existence of a wine stain on the living room carpet
Saturday girls' night knocked it over
Recalling the origin of the stain from a lively girls' night
Yeah, we couldn't stop laughin'
Highlighting the joyous atmosphere during the incident
Oh, these walls saw everything
Reiterating the walls as silent witnesses to life's events
From fallin' in love to chasin' a dream
Summarizing the breadth of experiences witnessed by the walls
Yeah, a lot of growin' up happened
Reflecting on the growth and change over time
It ain't a mansion in a millionaire's market
Acknowledging the modesty of the apartment in a wealthy market
But you'll be surprised at the memories you can fit
Reiterating the surprising capacity for memories in a small space
You'll be surprised at the memories you're gonna fit
Highlighting the potential for unexpected memories in the apartment
In this one bedroom apartment
Affirming the continuous capacity for meaningful memories in the apartment
