We moved to a place with a view, off of Eighth Avenue, after we said I do

And we watched cars of bachelorettes, 2:00 AM 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

Ooh, we were playing home in a penthouse, baby

I just bought the house that we saw

You said it was wrong

I wanted it all along
