Art School Girlfriend - Andrew McMahon in the Wilderness

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

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

«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

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

She’s all I need

She’s all I need

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
