Lyrics
The Saturday heat on Morewood Avenue smells like lemons and cash.
I'm sanding this birch till the grain runs smooth, hiding the Sheetrock patch.
The lady of the house, she glides on the tile,
Left a glass of ice water and a frozen half-smile.
[Chorus]
Oh, Maeve, the joinery's all wrong in here.
The pieces don't fit, the blueprint's unclear.
And I feel like a knot in some rich man's floorboard, my dear.
[Verse 2]
She watched me work from her cast-iron chair, a magazine on her knee.

I thought of you sleeping, the fan on the sill,
The sound of the freight train that runs past the mill.
[Chorus]
Oh, Maeve, the joinery's all wrong in here.
The pieces don't fit, the blueprint's unclear.
And I feel like a knot in some rich man's floorboard, my dear.
[Bridge]
I measured our life out twice and cut it clean,
You're the only straight line I have ever seen.
[Chorus]
Oh, Maeve, the joinery's all wrong in here.
The pieces don't fit, the blueprint's unclear.
And I feel like a knot in some rich man's floorboard, my dear.
[Outro]
The river just keeps moving south.
I'll be home soon, I taste the rust in my mouth.
