8th Floor Lyrics - Regina Spektor

no one waits for her inside the house 

she spots a stranger in the mirror 

and the record spins her nearer 

to the outcome of her day 

you live inside the city 

you forget how tall the trees can get 

a bird sits on a branch across 

from my eighth floor window 

and you can't really say 

that it's an eight floor branch 

cause trees don't have floors 

and buildings do 

[ummm... lots of not English words]

I came in from the rain which 

wasn't really rain it was just 

january snow in denial 

and something must have gotten lost 

in the translation, russian to english 

and winter wasn't wintery today

she comes into the house and no one 

waits for her inside the house 

she spots a stranger in the mirror 

and the record spins her nearer 

to the outcome of her day 

you live inside the city 

you forget how tall the trees can get 

a bird sits on a branch of my eighth floor window
