The District Sleeps Alone Tonight by Birdy
The District Sleeps Alone Tonight lyrics
Smeared black ink
Your face is ashen
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 (You seem so out of context in this gaudy
apartment complex)
Where I am (A stranger with your door key explaining
that I am just visiting)
Where I am (And I am finally seeing why I was the one
worth leaving)
Why I was the one worth leaving
D.C. sleeps alone tonight
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 am just visiting)
Where I am (And I am finally seeing why I was the one
worth leaving)
Why I was the one worth leaving
The district sleeps alone tonight
After the bars turn out their lights
And leave 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
