Art School Girlfriend

[Verse 1]

I woke up on the ground, again

Left the TV on, the government is shutting down

My day's wide open

I woke up on the ground, and you were in a cardigan sweater with your horn rimmed glasses on

Can't see the world without them

[Chorus]

Living in the pages of a book she read

I sewed a farewell letter with a needle and thread

And called in sick for good

Sitting on an island with the girl I need

I made a fat withdrawal from a cash machine

And I found a place to start again

With my art school girlfriend

Art school girlfriend

[Verse 2]

"I don't know where it is"

So I climb into bed awake

You got your camera out to take pictures of the mess we made

To save for later

I'm happy wasting away, it's cool

You're in a portable dark room and I'm dreaming of the swimming pool

While I read your latest papers

[Chorus]

Living in the pages of a book she read

I sewed a farewell letter with a needle and thread

And called in sick for good

Sitting on an island with the girl I need

I made a fat withdrawal from a cash machine

And I found a place to start again

With my art school girlfriend

Art school girlfriend

[Bridge]

She's all I need

She's all I need

[Chorus]

And so I'm living in the pages of the books she read

I sewed a farewell letter with a needle and thread

And called in sick for good

Sitting on an island with the girl I need

I made a fat withdrawal from the cash machine

And I found a place to start again

With my art school girlfriend

Art school girlfriend

She's all I need

She's all I need
