Owen - In The Morning, Before Work

A while ago, my buddy lived with me in my house and his girlfriend lived there too, my girlfriend also lived with me. It was the the four of us. It was nice. Only problem was that even though I loved my girlfriend, and eventually lamented her leaving, I was also really basically, pretty much, you know, in love with my pal’s girlfriend. Yes, I do believe that you can be in love with two people at the same time. The key to that is that both people have something completely different to offer.

Anyway, I went to work every day at 4am, and I’d be home by 1pm, and my pal’s girlfriend would just be finishing class by then, and I’d be home, and crawling into bed, and I always just imagined her sliding into my bed for an early afternoon nap. This song was also on my ipod in heavy rotation while I was at work.

Still to this day, when I hear this song I think of her, and what wasn’t and what might have been, and it’s cool. I’m not bummed about it. Some people never really leave your mind, even after you’ve both moved on.

I sleep in these dirty sheets

A blanket between my boney knees

But you already know that because you used to crawl in bed with me

in the morning before work
