lyrics

Disrepair

Every shop and restaurant’s closed
Clouds of dirt like forgotten thoughts
Land random on my restless shoes
The stains regain what is lost

I wonder where she is tonight
The one I left behind somewhere
I never think about her at all
Unless I’m in a state of disrepair

Hmmm, hmm disrepair
I see a plank comin’ loose at the bottom of the stairs
Disrepair

I pass the empty factory
Dilapidated last time, too
One day it’ll house expensive lofts
When we are all convinced to move

People struggle, and are turned away
From the things they love and do the best
They work twice as hard for half as much
The voice within whispers us or them

Chorus

The edges of this town are cracked
Like a postcard from the forgotten past
It always seems like Sunday here
The first in line, their fates are cast
I wonder where she is tonight
The one I left behind somewhere
I never think of her at all - I confess
Unless I’m in a state of disrepair
