This Town (demo) - Molly Newman

I joked to my sister the other day that I could just put out an album called Why Long-Distance Relationships Suck. Anyway, here's my most recent and hopefully last offering to that collection. I have been listening to a lot of The Weepies recently, which may have been influential in the songwriting of this one.

I'm trying out sticky notes on this video. Let me know how you like/dislike it.


Lyrics

My 9 to 5 is filled with dreams
Of broken hearts, and nectarines,
And when I wake, by chance or not,
Inside my throat my heart gets caught

My body's here but my soul is nowhere near

I can't wait much longer
I can't stand these days or these nights
I can't wait much longer
I want to want to be here but I can't stand standing around this town

My desk is covered up in plates
My calendar, with crossed-out dates,
And when I cook, it's always true
That I have made enough for two

My body's here but my soul is nowhere near

I can't wait much longer
I can't stand these days or these nights
I can't wait much longer
I want to want to be here but I can't stand standing around this town

Everyone says, "you'll soon be done,
You'll soon be done, you'll soon be done"
Everyone says, "you'll soon be through,
You'll soon be through, you'll soon be through"
But this fog won't lift 'til I am
Returned to you, returned to you

I get by each day making plans
Of apartments, and folksy bands
And if I wait just a bit more
We'll make up lost time, I'm sure

My days left here are dwindling, my dear

But I can't wait much longer
I can't stand these days or these nights
I can't wait much longer
I want to want to be here but I can't stand standing around

I can't wait much longer
I can't stand these days or these nights
I can't wait much longer
I want to want to be here but I can't stand standing around this town
