Apartment Song
The Clarks Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm gonna slip my note into the pocket of your jeans
How was I to know turning green on red A
Waitress in the sky still playing in my head
Days like these why'know are no one's fault
A bottle of wine, a loaf of bread, a pound of salt
Gimme little time to shake up
Lookin' for the truth
Walking up the stairs to the second floor
I'm gonna slip my note into the keyhole of your door
How was I to know honey right from wrong
Walk right into this vacant apartment song
Days like these why'know are no one's fault
A bottle of wine, a loaf of bread, a pound of salt
Gimme little time to shake up
I'll meet you when I finally wake up around two
Lookin' for the truth...lookin' for the....
Walking down the street honey New Orleans
I'm gonna slip my hand into the pocket of your dreams
How was I to know turning light on dark
Lease it for a year I got a place in Highland Park
Days like these why'know I feel you're pain
A bottle of rhymes a little music box of rain
Gimme little time to shake up
I'll meet you when I finally wake up around two
Without you...around two...without you or with you
Walking up the stairs to the second door
We're gonna leave our ghosts on the polished hardwood floor
How was I to know honey right from wrong
Walk right out of this lonely apartment song
Things like these why'know I feel you're pain
A bottle of rhymes a little music box of rain
Gimme little time to shake up
I'll meet you when I finally wake up around two
Around two...around two...around two...around two
The Clarks's song "Apartment Song" is a love song about a man who is looking for his lover in the city of New Orleans. He walks down the street, slips a note into her jeans, and tries to find her. The song has an air of mystery as he sings about turning green on red and recalls a waitress in the sky who is still playing in his head. The man is lost without his love, but he believes that things like these are no one's fault. He just needs a little time to shake up and find his truth.
As the song progresses, the man walks up the stairs to the second floor and slips a note into the keyhole of his lover's door. He sings about feeling her pain and wanting to be with her. The song ends on a hopeful note, with the couple leaving their ghosts behind and walking out of the lonely apartment song together.
