lyrics
In the house that I clean
they've already turned all their calendars to March.
Someone knew it was time to move on.
They knew that one month was over
and the next one had begun.
But what do I know, what do I know?
My name is written
on the first and third Monday of every month.
That's all they know about me.
They know that every other week their house will be clean.
But what do I know, what do I know?
Today I got stuck in February,
my calendar skipping on the twenty eighth.
My head flies back to a summer one year ago,
when I was holding you in love
and you were moving with me,
but somehow I got stuck and you got free
In the house that I clean
there is a place to put everything away.
They know that behind one door there are coats and shoes.
In one closet they'll find mops and brooms.
But what do I know, what do I know?
my own apartment has no closets or doors,
and the ground keeps shaking underneath.
All my memories are scattered on the floor,
of when I was holding you in love,
and you were moving with me,
but somehow I got stuck and you got free.
In the house that I clean,
I'm down on my hands and knees
scrubbing a prayer through the floor.
Once I knew when it was time to go on,
I knew when one month was over and the next one had begun.
Now what do I know, what do I know?
they've already turned all their calendars to March.
Someone knew it was time to move on.
They knew that one month was over
and the next one had begun.
But what do I know, what do I know?
My name is written
on the first and third Monday of every month.
That's all they know about me.
They know that every other week their house will be clean.
But what do I know, what do I know?
Today I got stuck in February,
my calendar skipping on the twenty eighth.
My head flies back to a summer one year ago,
when I was holding you in love
and you were moving with me,
but somehow I got stuck and you got free
In the house that I clean
there is a place to put everything away.
They know that behind one door there are coats and shoes.
In one closet they'll find mops and brooms.
But what do I know, what do I know?
my own apartment has no closets or doors,
and the ground keeps shaking underneath.
All my memories are scattered on the floor,
of when I was holding you in love,
and you were moving with me,
but somehow I got stuck and you got free.
In the house that I clean,
I'm down on my hands and knees
scrubbing a prayer through the floor.
Once I knew when it was time to go on,
I knew when one month was over and the next one had begun.
Now what do I know, what do I know?
