Lyrics
The plastic cups are sticking to the Frankford Avenue floor.
3:47 AM, and no one's keeping score.
We trace the victory parade route, a crooked stitch we drew
On a damp bar napkin, faded letterhead from you.
[Chorus]
And this is the good life, the prize we were after.
This Kensington weft, this clean, quiet rafter.
We wove it all together 'til the pattern was complete,
Now there's just the sound of our own hearts beating.
[Verse 2]
"This changes everything," you whispered by the door.
Your coat still held the cold from the city rain before.
We stood there on the row-home steps, a brand new deed in hand,
A city block of promises on unfamiliar land.
[Chorus]
And this is the good life, the prize we were after.
This Kensington weft, this clean, quiet rafter.
We wove it all together 'til the pattern was complete,
Now there's just the sound of our own hearts beating.
[Bridge]

We finally drew our own chalk line... what did we leave behind?
[Chorus]
Yeah, this is the good life, the prize we were after.
This Kensington weft, this clean, quiet rafter.
We wove it all together 'til the pattern was complete,
Now there's just the sound of our own hearts beating.
(Music fades out completely for 3-5 seconds of silence)
[Outro]
The first El of the morning rattles the window pane...
Just a single thread of light... starts all over again.
