Josephine
Art Sorority Lyrics

I'm too old to get divorced
At my age, the idea of going through a divorce is overwhelming

Better stay the course
It's wiser to stick with what I have instead of making drastic changes

'Cause before long, I'll be waking up tired every day
If I were to make a wrong decision, I'd end up feeling exhausted every morning

I'm too old to make new friends
Making new connections feels challenging at my age

Better make amends
Instead, I should focus on repairing broken relationships

Time to empty out the junk drawer
It's time to let go of past grievances and clear out emotional clutter

For those kinder words I used to say
Reflecting on the past when I used to express myself with more kindness and compassion

And so I make my case on scented stationary
I express my feelings and regrets through a heartfelt letter written on fragrant paper

Sad and sweet, like a canary with a cold
The tone of my words is both melancholic and tender, much like a sick canary

Did I break my promise?
I question whether I have broken a vow or commitment

I've just been so nervous
My anxiety has caused me to behave in a way that goes against my promises

Think I lost a hair for every lie I told
I feel guilty for every dishonesty I've uttered, to the point of experiencing hair loss

But I'd hate to think that this might be
I strongly wish not to believe that this could potentially be

The last thing that I say to you
The final words I express to you in our current situation

I still could run away with you
There's still a possibility for us to escape reality together

If you'll meet me in a dream
In a symbolic manner, if you join me in a shared fantasy

And I'm so silly since I met you, honey
I've become foolishly lighthearted ever since I encountered you, my dear

I sing myself asleep
I find solace and comfort by singing myself into slumber

You have made an old man happy, Josephine
Your presence and influence have brought immense joy to an aging man named Josephine

And I remember Central Park
I recall a memory from Central Park

You were waiting for the carousel to start
I picture you standing, patiently anticipating the carousel's commencement

Sidesaddle, so you wouldn't tear your homemade skirt
You sat on the carousel's horse in a way that preserved your personally crafted skirt

You had a ponytail and a pink t-shirt
Your hairstyle involved a ponytail while wearing a pink t-shirt

And I remember visiting
I have a vivid recollection of the time when I visited

The dorm on 57th Street
Specifically, I remember going to the dormitory located on 57th Street

And the other girls on the frisbee team
I interacted with the female members of the frisbee team which resided there

Who thought I was your dad
Those girls mistook my role and believed I was your father

And it's safe to say that this might be
It's reasonable to assume that this situation could potentially be

The hardest thing I'll ever do
Facing and overcoming this challenge would likely be the most difficult task of my life

Perhaps someday I'll send for you
Maybe in the future, I will arrange for your arrival

Assuming I'm alive
This plan is contingent upon my continued existence

All those silly things we told each other
I fondly recall the foolish and endearing conversations we had

We meant them at the time
During those instances, the words spoken held genuine meaning

Now we mean them more than ever
Presently, those words hold even greater significance
