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
