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
Adhered to my chest
It tells your new friends
"I am a visitor here... I am not permanent."
And the only thing keeping me dry is..

You seem so out of context
In this gaudy apartment complex
A stranger with your door key
Explaining that I'm just visiting
And I am finally seeing
Why I was the one worth leaving
(I was the one worth leaving)

D.c. sleeps alone tonight

(Where I am)
You seem so out of context
In this gaudy apartment complex
(Where I am)
A stranger with your door key
Explaining that I'm just visiting
(Where I am)
And I am finally seeing
Why I was the one worth leaving
(I was the one worth leaving)

(Where I am)
The district sleeps alone tonight
After the bars turn out their lights
(Where I am)
And send the autos swerving
Into the loneliest evening
(Where I am)
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
