Andrew McMahon In The Wilderness – Art School Girlfriend lyrics

[Verse 1]
I woke up on the ground, again
Left the TV on, the government is shutting down
My day's wide open
I woke up on the ground, and you were in a cardigan
Sweater with your horn rimmed glasses on
Can't see the world without them

[Chorus]
Living in the pages of a book she read
I sewed a farewell letter with a needle and thread
And called in sick for good
Sitting on an island with the girl I need
I made a fat withdrawal from a cash machine
And I found a place to start again
With my art school girlfriend
Art school girlfriend

[Verse 2]
"I don't know where it is"
So I climb into bed awake
You got your camera out to take pictures of the mess we made
To save for later
I'm happy wasting away, it's cool
You're in a portable dark room and I'm dreaming of the swimming pool
While I read your latest papers

[Chorus]
Living in the pages of a book she read
I sewed a farewell letter with a needle and thread
And called in sick for good
Sitting on an island with the girl I need
I made a fat withdrawal from a cash machine
And I found a place to start again
With my art school girlfriend
Art school girlfriend

[Bridge]
She's all I need
She's all I need

[Chorus]
And so I'm living in the pages of the books she read
I sewed a farewell letter with a needle and thread
And called in sick for good
Sitting on an island with the girl I need
I made a fat withdrawal from the cash machine
And I found a place to start again
With my art school girlfriend
Art school girlfriend
She's all I need
She's all I need
