The whole thing just changes / your world rearranges – you're on your own Moved into your new place / well you're just a new face / you're on your own again The girl that you loved / she's been sent back above – she's an angel now But that doesn't comfort you / look what it's done to you / tearing you apart Have you seen the place where Saint Street meets 17th and we all go down to the river at night and we throw our silent stones
You can find me there, or sitting at the bottom of the subway stairs / well it's not hard to feel alone / when this city is your home The darkening day of your minimum wage job is k**ing you / waking up on your floor at a quarter past four – well it's time to go again And you're losing your fight with the bottle at night / well, you're on your own And the loneliest words that you have ever heard have been ringing in your ears
