lyrics

“Genevieve Knows”

She’s like, ‘yeah,
Someone oughta follow me and write stuff down’
I’m like, ‘yeah
Every time you speak it’s like a brand new sound’
but anyone can see
I need her more than she needs me

Genevieve takes the morning train
To get to work by nine and back again
She says it seems like no one acts their age
And that it feels like life’s not lived it’s waged
But GENEVIEVE KNOWS my love for her grows
Each day - as long as she calls my name

She goes down-
town to be the empress of her tiny scene
I go down
swinging at the sycophants around my queen
But let them all pretend
she's gonna wake up next to them

Genevieve takes the morning train
To get to work by nine and back again
She says it seems like no one acts their age
And that it feels like life’s not lived it’s waged
But GENEVIEVE KNOWS my love for her grows
Whether she stays or whether I go insane
As long as she calls my name

Hey Jen, say when are you gonna let us all come up for air?
Jen says, “depends on the weather and if whether I’m awake enough to care”

and every night’s a blur
but still I go to bat for her
