Earl St.

My bedroom is a mess and every time I undress
I swear there's people that can see me through the window
The downstairs toilet still won't flush
And my landlord decides to brush off
All my calls it's bound to overflow
And I'm living in this summer sublet heat, on Earl St

I go to the Merry Market corner store
When I just can't be alone no more
To wander through the dusty yellow aisles
I look to the tobacco case but nicotine don't hit the same
When every single breath's already fire
It's like I'm living just one week that's on repeat, on Earl St

Yeah I know it's bleak but baby I don't mind

If you go south, you'll find water grey as concrete
North brings you to highways grey as steel
And I'm here, post-secondary main street
Which feels the same but different every year
It's all a language that I never learned to speak, on Earl St

My best friend lives three blocks away but I haven't seen her in days
In fact I ain't seen no one but myself
Mirror, mirror on the wall, who am I supposed to call
When everybody calls somebody else
And I'm alone with all these secrets I can't keep, on Earl St

Yeah I know it's bleak and maybe I should mind

If you go south, you'll find water grey as concrete
North brings you to highways grey as steel
And I'm here, post-secondary main street
Which feels the same but different every year
It's all a language that I never learned to speak, on Earl St

And it's harder now, it's darker now that everybody's moving on
It's harder now, it's darker now that everybody's moving on

If you go south, you'll find water grey as concrete
North brings you to highways grey as steel
And I'm here, post-secondary main street
Which feels the same but different every year
It's all a language that I understand but never learned to speak
On Earl St
