Landlady lyrics

Roam

The phone is where I live till I get home

And when the doorbell rings

You tell me that I have a key

I ask you how you know it's me

The road

No road without a turn

And if there was, the road would be to learn

What keeps her standing in this view

Is the view that we can be brand new

The landlady takes me up in the air

I go, I go where I would not dare

The landlady shows me the stars up there

I'm weightless, weightless when she is there

And I'll never know

Never know what starving poets meant

'Cause when I was broke

It was you that always paid the rent

Oh yeah, oh yeah

Space

Her place is where I found my parking space

And when I'm losing ground

You know she gives it back to me

She whispers, don't do, just be

The landlady takes me up in the air

I go, I go where I would not dare

The landlady shows me the stars up there

I'm weightless, weightless when she is there

And I'll never know

Never know what starving poets meant

'Cause when I was broke

It was you that always paid the rent

Every wave that broke me

Every song that wrote me

Every dawn that woke me

Was to get me home to you, you see

Every soul that left me

Every heart that kept me

The strangers that protected me

To bring me back to you

Every magic potion

Every false emotion

How unswerving our devotion

To the lies we know are almost true

Every sweet confusion

Every grand illusion

I will win and call it losing

If the prize is not for you
