alphabet city

The National

I don t miss the world, not the way it was
I can t get there
Try to think of it, always at a loss
I can t get there

All of your lonesomeness kept in your wallet
Nobody notices, baby, you got this

I ll still be here when you come back from space
I will listen for you at the door

Take forever off anytime you want
I ll save your place
If anybody asks, I ll say you re coming back
We ll just have to wait

Sometimes I wanna drive around and find you
And act like it s a random thing
I always wonder if you ever feel
Like I blew all chances of this happening

I m not ever it, don t know what it is
I can t get there
Something s wrong with me like it always is
I can t get there

All of your lonesomeness kept in your wallet
Nobody notices, baby, you got this
Everything s orchestrated, follow the arrows
Let s meet where we used to in Alphabet City

I ll still be here when you come back from space
I will listen for you at the door
Sometimes I barely recognize this place
When you re with me, I don t miss the world
