The Old Apartment Lyrics

Broke into the old apartment
This is where we used to live
Broken glass, broke and hungry, broken hearts and broken bones
This is where we used to live

Why did you paint the walls?
Why did you clean the floor?
Why did you plaster...

    It's about longing to return to a more nostalgic part of your history. Even though he's moved up since the times he was living in this old, slummy apartment, and now owns a house with the same girl, he still longs to recapture a bit of those days.
