City Love Lyrics
John Mayer
I never liked this apple much
It always seemed too big to touch
I cant remember how I found
My way before she came around
I tell everyone
I smile just because
Ive got a city love
I found it in lydia
And I cant 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
Ive got a city love
I found it in lydia
And I cant remember life before
The day
She called up and came to me
Covered in rain
And dinnertime shadowing
And as her clothes spun, we spooned
And I knew I was through
When I said I love you
Friday evening, weve been drinking
2 am, I swear I might propose
But we close the tab
Split a cab
And call each other up when we get home
Falling asleep to the sound
Of sirens
Ive got a city love
I found it in lydia
From the battery
To the gallery
Its the kind of thing you only see
In scented, glossy magazines
And I cant remember life before her name
