stars from an attic room view

This song is memorable because the lyrics fit so well with who I was, and who Matthew was, and our experience in Iowa City. Trying to figure out how all these things would coincide. It's depressing and dark, but I visualize Matthew's little attic room with a mattress on the floor just underneath a window. We could lay at the foot of his mattress and poke our heads out the window onto the roof and reach for the stars. 

"Drink up, baby, look at the stars - I'll kiss you again between the bars - where I'm seeing you there with your hands in the air - waiting to finally be caught."
