The District Sleeps Alone Tonight Lyrics - Give Up - The Postal Service

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 

Wear my badge, a vinyl sticker with big block letters 

Adherent to my chest, tells your new friends 

I am a visitor here, I am not permanent 

The only thing keeping me dry is 

(Where I am) 

You seem so out of context in this gaudy apartment complex 

(Where I am) 

A stranger with your door key explaining that I am just visiting 

(Where I am) 

And I am finally seeing why I was the one worth leaving 

Why I was the one worth leaving 

I was the one worth leaving 

D.C. sleeps alone tonight 

(Where I am) 

You seem so out of context in this gaudy apartment complex 

(Where I am) 

A stranger with your door key explaining that I am just visiting 

(Where I am) 

And I am finally seeing why I was the one worth leaving 

Why I was the one worth leaving 

(Where I am) 

The district sleeps alone tonight after the bars turn out their lights 

(Where I am) 

And send the autos swerving into the loneliest evening 

(Where I am) 

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
