(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 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

(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

  • @Fawkes337 not true... find her, and you see.

  • This song means so much to me. Once a girl showed me this song and each time I listen to this song, it reminds me of the time being with her. I fucking miss her so much, but there is no chance to see her again. Life is cruel guys.

  • What the hell is a "birdy"?

  • It pisses me off when people remake popular songs. I just heard a remake of Pink-Aerosmith today on a comercial. It really pissed me off because, you know, its not that great of a song. The only good the about that song was that Aerosmith did it.. (I Like em dont love em) And then this little retard girl comes and does "Her rendition" and probably got a record deal. I think it should be illegal to profit off of a remake of a song, especially if the origional artist is still alive AND performing.

  • Between birdy and The postal Service they made the same lyrics two completely different songs all together

  • The Birdy version is just about as generic as music can get. It's another young girl with an "amazing voice." Gee, where have I heard that before? Oh right, Taylor Swift. If you want to make pop garbage music, look somewhere besides the Postal Service.

  • best album of the decade
