Lawyer in the Bay
(Mmm)
Molly loved to argue with her mom
So she became a corporate lawyer in the bay
She never had to struggle or stress about the rent
And when she went out with her friends she'd always pay
Molly found a place up on a hill
She moved all her things out after college
She filled the space with furniture, the color scheme was blue
And lived alone 'cause she could, not 'cause she wanted
Molly was the happiest at 24
She seemed peachy perfect on the outside
But thought it might be strange the way she looked at other girls
Scratch that, her future husband wouldn't mind
A decade will go by and she'll start to regret
All the things she didn't do outside the Golden Gate
Molly tried to problem solve but what she really found
It was herself she grew to hate
Got a lot of love for Molly, and maybe she's okay
But I'm glad I live at home now and my life is not the same
My brother is my best friend, my mother might be too
And Molly's an acquaintance from a life across the moon
In most ways we are different but grieving seems to be
Something that we both felt at the age of seventeen
Molly's life is hell to me and maybe I am wrong
But I know she'd never be in New York City writing this song
