Someone hung a decorative surfboard Up where your records and movies belong This light makes it nearly impossible To see if they fixed all the cracks in the wall Staring out the window at your old apartment Imagining the old you stumbling through tacky renovations That the landlord wanted to cash in on the boom And you don't know where to go now You've got nowhere to go now I wish you'd come down and meet me here I'm gridlocked I'm not going anywhere I've had a bad year The city don't care if you live or die It's just gonna grow and it doesn't care Why you're tired of kicking and fighting through life And left me alone on this cold winter night Just staring out the window at your old apartment
