lyrics

Smeared black ink. Your palms are sweaty,
And I'm barely listening to last demands.
I'm staring at the asphalt wondering what's buried underneath
Where I am.
Where I am.

I'll wear my badge, a vinyl sticker with big block letters adherent to my chest
That tells your new friends I am a visitor here.
I am not permanent
And the only thing keeping me dry is
Where I am.
Where I am.
Where I am.

You seem so out of context in this gaudy apartment complex.
A stranger with your door key explaining that I am just visiting
And I am finally seeing
Why I was the one worth leaving.
Why I was the one worth leaving.

D.C. sleeps alone tonight.

Where I am.
Where I am.
Where I am.

You seem so so out of context in this gaudy apartment complex
A stranger with your door key explaining that I am just visiting
And I am finally seing
Why I was the one worth leaving
Why I was the one worth leaving

Where I am
Where I am
Where I am

The district sleeps alone tonight after the bars turn out their lights
And send the autos swerving into the loneliest evening
And I am finally seeing
Why I was the one worth leaving.
Why I was the one worth leaving.
Why I was the one worth leaving.
Why I was the one worth leaving.
