The Imperial by The Delines Lyrics

[Verse 1]
All those scars, what did they do to you?
We both seen some miles
More than a few rough ones for me and you
I was sorry to hear about your sister
She went down in such a hard way
You know I quit that shit and got myself out of it
Maybe a year after you were sent away
Oh, I never thought that I'd see you again
But I'd heard you'd gotten out
And since then I've had trouble sleepin'

[Pre-Chorus]
So let's have one last drink
But after that I'm gonna leave

[Chorus]
Imperial, Apartment 315
Imperial, all those nights, just you and me
Imperial, we were livin' on clean money
It was the only time I ever felt right about anything
[Verse 2]
Ten years is a long time
That's true
And I hated myself for never visitin'
That you made me promise not to
Arlo's been a good man to me
And I take care of his daughter too
I know the years have treated you wicked
I can see it in your eyes
And I don't know what to do

[Pre-Chorus]
So let's have one last drink
Hold my hand under the table before I leave

[Chorus]
Imperial, Apartment 315
Imperial, all those nights, just you and me
Imperial, we were livin' on clean money
Imperial, before your cousin came to town
And you all got involved in that deal that went south
Imperial, you and me
Oh, why did you do it?
Why did you do that to me?
