Things You'll Keep - The Apartments

Sat outside the darkened house

Reading one of your old letters

I’d carried it from town to town

I sometimes hoped for you

Things got better

It says" We’e got a place by the river now

The rooms are full of light, it’s still our town

If there’s such a thing as a second chance…

I want it now."

That’s what it says

Things you keep

Some things you were never meant to lose

The things you keep

Some things the world cannot refuse

The things you keep

You thought there was a way out

So you took it on your hands and knees

Oh what if your best days are gone

How do you plead?

And if day to day is a hurting thing

You’re even tired of all beauty now

And you said goodbye to your baby face

You said it to just about everything

Things you keep

Some things you were never meant to lose

The things you keep

Some things the world cannot refuse

The things you keep

Everybody was skinny then

Nobody said you wouldn’t win

You said goodbye to your baby face

And just about everything

Things you keep

Some things you were never meant to lose

The things you keep

Some things the world cannot refuse

The things you keep

Everybody was skinny then

Everybody was skinny then

And they said you wouldn’t hear

You said goodbye to your baby face

And just about everything

How do you plead?

How do you plead?

How do you plead?

How do you plead?

How do you plead?
