The Apartment

I've been known to buy an afternoon banana in a truckstop

Toss the peel in the trash as I make my way across the parking lot

You call me up sometimes

You kick in with the subtle of potassium

I want see you tonight

But I'm just too far from home

I've been known to buy keychains with your name in the morning in a gift shop

I buy the ones with the state's license plates and it gives me a lift up

You cross my mind so much

I hear your voice in the pumping of gas

I want see you tonight

But I'm just too far from home

I've been baptized by the wind

As the sun set over Gila Bend

And I've stood alone in the parking lot of possibilities

I've been angry and sad

I spent way too much time feelin stupid and mad

Tonight I just want to come back to our apartment in the city

I've been known to drunk dial you from a motel bathroom with the shower on

I let the steam set the scene as my cell begins to power on

You say you miss me so much

You say my voice turns you on through the phone

You're on my side of the bed

But you're out there all alone
