Painted Empty Apartment

I painted an empty apartment
picked out a cool color green
doing it all by myself
it's not as sad as it seems

CHORUS
And I don't have money
it would be such a waste it would seem
because I would just spend it
on bills upon bills and those trips to the hills,
catching up with my old friends whose pockets are filled
with memories and diaries reflecting how happy they'd been
In their old beat up painted and empty apartments.

Stubbed my big toe on a floorboard
cracked my head on a beam
It had fallen while I had been sleeping
it's not as sad as it seems

CHORUS

I'd move in on Tuesday if able
If all of my stuff was not gone
Five or so trips to the car
I can consider it done

All of the time I've been able
maybe this whole thing's been dreaming
But guitars can make this my home
So it's not as sad as it seems

CHORUS
