I've Been Sleeping In Your Garage

(album: Talkies - 2020)

I've been sleeping in your garage
I hope you don't mind
Each time you pull in
I tuck behind the bureau in the corner

You haven't noticed me yet
But I noticed you a long time ago
Of course
You have a lot of nice things in here

Looks like you had a kid or two at some point
I never see them in the car
Old wedding photos
Two cribs one blue one pink

But you're the only one who pulls into this garage
In that old Ford with the busted bumper
Looks like you hit someone pretty hard with that thing
Damn things nearly fallen off

Not much life in your eyes is there
Or at least not what I can see from around the corner
I recognize those eyes
I catch them in reflective surfaces
