Leaving New York was an exercise in window-watching Guarding all the exits of the soul All my friends got these opinions on my good intentions Trying to shape the contours of the goal Because the goal is getting old with heartbreak they can hang their hats upon They're leaving flowers at the foot of my locked door I don't mind that anymore I been throwing out more shit than I've been buying Even letters have a best-by date, even when they're signed by you Used to keep those things for present you or future me But I'm shaking off my own subjunctive mood cuz the alternative is blue These people hang a near miss on the wall They point it out to almost-lovers that come through I've been guilty of it too I used to bleed, now I just bruise I reject condolence, I accept your spite Other people get lonely But I like coffee on a solitary afternoon Pacing round my underfurnished room Making blues sing because I saved them up to count for something You feel sorry for me You don't find that city boring, I do San Francisco was a sunny sort of purgatory Counting up the windows that I'd closed All your high-class friends had documented low-class hobbies But I smelled desperation on their clothes And in their pity I saw ghosts trying to settle some forgotten score You know, when I was sad I think you liked me more And I've been that way before But I think I passed the torch I accept your premise, I reject your spin Other people get even But I get coffee on a solitary afternoon Pacing round my underfurnished room Making blues sing because I saved them up to count for something You feel sorry for me You don't find that city boring, I do Back in New York we had one-night stands with restaurants we swore that we'd go back to someday I still think about my high heels in the city crowd It made a certain person out of me and if I miss her that's okay I leave before the curtain call of love They're bottled up at every exit now The stage is bare and time's already up Trying to squeeze out every drop As for me, I got enough I reject your thesis, I accept your thoughts All these people want reasons I just got coffee on a solitary afternoon Paced around my underfurnished room Making you songs because I lost the plot of who we were I feel sorry for you that you can't be happy for me I wish you were
