She Don’t Care I’m Broke

[Verse 1]
Secondhand jacket
Ripped at the sleeve
Coins in a coffee cup
Shaking on my knee
She laughs at the menu
Orders the cheap wine
Says
“We can split a plate
I just want your time” (yeah)
[Chorus]
She don’t care I’m broke
She just likes my jokes
Riding on the back of this busted-up hope
Got a heart full of songs
And a hole in my coat
But she don’t
She don’t care I’m broke
[Verse 2]
Room full of roommates
Mattress on the floor
She’s tracing constellations
In the cracks above the door
Says
“Babe
You’re rich in
All the ways that count”
Kisses me mid-sentence
Cuts my worries out (hey)
[Chorus]
She don’t care I’m broke
She just likes my jokes
Riding on the back of this busted-up hope
Got a heart full of songs
And a hole in my coat
But she don’t
She don’t care I’m broke
[Bridge]
First singer: “I got dreams
But they’re on layaway”
Second: “I got bills chasing me every day”
Third: “I got you
And that feels like pay”
All: “Yeah
That feels like pay
Feels like pay”
[Chorus]
She don’t care I’m broke
She just likes my jokes
Riding on the back of this busted-up hope
Got a heart full of songs
And a hole in my coat
But she don’t
She don’t care I’m broke
She don’t
She don’t care I’m broke (oh no)
She don’t
She don’t care I’m broke

rock, Warm indie rock band feel, three-part male vocals trading lines. Clean jangly guitars over a bouncy bass groove, lightly driven drums, tambourine on the choruses. Verses stay tight and conversational, chorus opens with stacked harmonies on the hook, gang vocals on the last refrain. Subtle organ pads in the bridge for lift, then everything drops to claps and voice before the final full-band hit., indie rock
