Penthouse

We moved to a place with a view off of 8th Avenue after we said I do And we watched cars of bachelorettes, 2 a.m. cigarettes and traffic headed downtown And the interstate was so loud, there was a lot it had to drown out We played the part five nights, but we were never there on the weekends, baby We got along real nice, but when I left town, did you hate me? One day, the curtain started coming down I changed the second we were moving out I guess wrong can look alright When you're playing home in a penthouse, baby I bought the house with a fence, enough room for some kids, a backyard for Dibs And I thought that would make it all better, and maybe forever wouldn't feel like the walls closing in 'Cause how does that even make sense? Now that I think about it, it never did We played the part five nights, but we were never there on the weekends, baby We got along real nice, but when I left town, did you hate me? One day, the curtain started coming down You changed the second we were moving out I guess wrong can look alright When you're playing home in a penthouse, baby 'Cause we were playing home in a penthouse, baby It hurts putting shit in a box And now we don't talk And it stings rolling up the welcome mat Knowing you got half I kissed someone new last night But now I don't know where you're sleeping, baby We got along real nice, until I wanted out, now I know you hate me One day, the curtain started coming down We changed the second we were moving out I guess wrong can look alright When you're playing home in a penthouse, baby We were playing home in a penthouse, baby, mmm I just bought the house that we saw You said it was wrong, I wanted it all along
