Corduroy Couch

Your neighbour's lemon tree

Hangs real heavy

You told me every fruit

Was a little dream of the future

Beneath the ground

Lies an emptiness like the sky

The perfect moment came in the morning

But you were sleeping and it passed you by

Every tide takes a little more of the shore

I used to wanna stick around forever

But I don't want to anymore

Every tide takes a little more of the shore

I used to wanna stick around forever

But I don't want to anymore

The leaves of a fern

Rustle in the passenger seat

I saw you walking in a long t-shirt

As I was driving by the beach

We watched The Matrix on a corduroy couch

The smell of the ocean was drying on your skin

Your big retriever's name was Hank

And I know I'll miss him

Every tide takes a little more of the shore

I used to wanna stick around forever

But I don't want to anymore

Every tide takes a little more of the shore

I used to wanna stick around forever

But I don't want to anymore

In lives that have no second act

We can go downtown

We can buy some gum

We can hang around

In your dream

All your grandmother's things

Were laid out on the grass

Turning dark in the rain

In the morning

Oh, you left me a poem

I was mowing the lawn

You said you had to get going

Every tide takes a little more of the shore

I used to wanna stick around forever

But I don't want to anymore

Every tide takes a little more of the shore

I used to wanna stick around forever

But I don't want to anymore
