lyrics

I lost my jacket in September at a place I can't recall
And the ticket's in a pocket of a coat I also lost
And there's a rail of things I've left behind me in this town
And I've never once gone back to any of them at any cost

I leave things. That's the pattern. That's the whole of it.
Coats, flats, people, jobs. I leave. I'm good at it.

Take my coat, I'll never claim it, take the ticket, lose the stub
I'm not the girl who comes back Sunday for the things she left behind
Take the number that I gave you at the bar and not the club
And don't come looking for a version of me you'll never find

You asked me if I've ever stayed and I said "once, in June"
It wasn't true. I've never stayed. But you looked like you'd want it soon.

Take my coat, I'll never claim it, take the ticket, lose the stub
I'm not the girl who comes back Sunday for the things she left behind
Take the number that I gave you at the bar and not the club
And don't come looking for a version of me you'll never find

There's a rail somewhere with nine of my coats on it.
Somebody should sell them. Honestly. Somebody should.
