Lyrics

neighbor

(verse)
the girl that lives downstairs from my apartment is alone
I can hear her talk abouti it on the patio below
and I can hear how she gets all upset and disconnects the phone
I hang out on my balcony above her
and turn down my radio

I hear her take the doorway to the alley into town
I slip[through my bedroom window to the fire escape and down
and through and inside her apartment in the dark and perfumed air
I just close my eyes and take a breath
and feel her everywhere

I check out all her pictures with her boyfriends and her mom
when she had lighter colored hair that didn't use to be as long
and she's got flowers on the front part of her backless underwear
she seemed to have a sweeter smile
when she had shorter hair

(chorus)
Im overcome with this emotioin
I lay back and I let it reel
I think about those times that we caught eyes
in the hallway passing by
that sunday night she had her laundry
on the washer next to mine
all these little fated moments
keep on playing in my mind
I just lay back here and feel how she must feel this way
when she's alone down here

(verse)
I hear her keychain rattle in the doorway down below
As I slowly climb the lattice where the flowered ivy grows
I can hear her gentle laughter
I can hear she's not alone
I softly close my window
and turn up my radio

( repeat chorus)
