I, for one, am still in love

I wish I knew the name of every tree
as intimately as brands of insurance
I won’t buy for lives I won’t lead

I wish I knew you like you know me
it’s actually very expensive to live this dumb
getting drunk and letting all my cash-back deals expire

the last time I saw myself
was in a methadone clinic in Alta Dena
and there wasn’t much left well

they top the houses here with terra-cotta
and on a clear day you can see Catalina

maybe you’re brushing hair from your face
or maybe you’re my grandmother saying
¡que guapo, mijo!

but i would like to live
some place where i am beautiful
and i would like you in my car
and we’re going to Glendale.
