"The Old Apartment"
Barenaked Ladies

Broke into the old apartment
This is where we used to live
Broken glass
Broke and hungry
Broken hearts and broken bones
This is where we used to live

Why did you keep the mousetrap?
Why did you keep the dishrack?
These things used to be mine, I guess they still are, I want them back!

Broke into the old apartment
42 stairs from the street
Crooked landing
Crooked landlord
Narrow laneway filled with crooks
This is where we used to live

Why did you pave the lawn?
Why did you change the lock?
Why did I have to break it, I only came here to talk?
This is where we used to live

I know we don't live here anymore
We bought an old house on the Danforth
She loves me and her body keeps me warm
I'm happy there

But this is where we used to live!

Broke into the old apartment
Tore the phone out of the wall
Only mem'ries, fading mem'ries, blending into dull tableaux
I want them back...

I want them back...
This is where we used to live
I want them back...
This is where we used to live!
I want them back...
This is where we used to live
I want them back
