Maeva Lyrics

Backing down a one way street

After a U-turn in the intersection

Some people can't seem to follow rules

Some just make up their own

The first time we met she was moving in

She asked if I would pick up the yard

I explained that I was just renting

But she didn't seem to understand that

If you tell a story

You gotta give some context for the characters you name

I can't just dive in and mention Maeva without referential frame

She's a neighbor who assumed

A certain intimacy we hadn't earned

She caught me off guard but I don't think she knew

Early one morning she was walking to her car she turned around and said he's gone

I said who's gone and studied her face

She said Jim I said I don't know him

Since I've known her which hasn't been long

She got a dog and a couple of cats

And gave them back one by one

She's said they're too much trouble, and shrugged

If you tell a story

You gotta give some context for the characters you use

I can't just dive in and mention Maeva without referential clues

She's a neighbor who assumed

A certain intimacy we hadn't earned

She caught me off guard but I don't think she knew
