Lawyer in the Bay

(Mmm) Molly loved to argue with her mom So she became a corporate lawyer in the bay She never had to struggle or stress about the rent And when she went out with her friends she'd always pay Molly found a place up on a hill She moved all her things out after college She filled the space with furniture, the color scheme was blue And lived alone 'cause she could, not 'cause she wanted Molly was the happiest at 24 She seemed peachy perfect on the outside But thought it might be strange the way she looked at other girls Scratch that, her future husband wouldn't mind A decade will go by and she'll start to regret All the things she didn't do outside the Golden Gate Molly tried to problem solve but what she really found It was herself she grew to hate Got a lot of love for Molly, and maybe she's okay But I'm glad I live at home now and my life is not the same My brother is my best friend, my mother might be too And Molly's an acquaintance from a life across the moon In most ways we are different but grieving seems to be Something that we both felt at the age of seventeen Molly's life is hell to me and maybe I am wrong But I know she'd never be in New York City writing this song (Mmm)
