Julia Mark - Lending Library Lyrics

Library books are sitting on my shelf reminding me of you
You're overdue
What's your excuse?

I never pegged you as the type to run away
I'm usually quick enough to turn the page
Before the ending comes my way but

Now the doors are locked, hallways have turned quiet
And my thoughts are in a riot

Still I know, still I know
I will forgive you if you ever do come back to me

It's in my nature to return and my heart
Is a lending library

So wait in line and pay your fine
Two cents for every day you missed
Your name in red upon my list
I will forgive you if you ever do come back to me
It's in my nature to return and my heart
Is a lending library

It isn't fair for you to take more than you give
How do we live and love and lose this way?
How do we make it through our days?

Somebody drew inside this book and tore page 23
That's the part where you once were, directly to the left of me

So wait in line and pay your fine
Two cents for every day you missed
Your name in red upon my list
I will forgive you if you ever do come back to me
It's in my nature to return and my heart
Is a lending library

I will forgive you if you ever do come back to me
It's in my nature to return and my heart
Is a lending library
