[Verse 1: Jay]
Smeared black ink
Your palms are sweaty
I'm barely listening
To last demands
I'm staring at the asphalt wondering
What's buried underneath

[Refrain: Jane & Seamus]
Where I am
Where I am

[Verse 2: Jay; Jay & Jane]
I'll wear my badge
A vinyl sticker with big block letters
Adherent to my chest
That tells your new friends
I am a visitor here; I am not permanent
And the only thing keeping me dry is

[Chorus: Jay, Jane & Seamus]
You seem so out of context (Where I am)
In this gaudy apartment complex
A stranger with your door key (Where I am)
Explaining that I'm just visiting
And I am finally seeing (Where I am)
Why I was the one worth leaving
Why I was the one worth leaving
[Interlude: Jay & Jane]
D.C. sleeps alone tonight

[Instrumental Bridge]

[Chorus: Jay & Jane & Seamus]
You seem so out of context (Where I am)
In this gaudy apartment complex
A stranger with your door key (Where I am)
Explaining that I'm just visiting
And I am finally seeing (Where I am)
Why I was the one worth leaving
Why I was the one worth leaving
The district sleeps alone tonight (Where I am)
After the bars turn out their lights
And send the autos swerving (Where I am)
Into the loneliest evening
And I am finally seeing (Where I am)
Why I was the one worth leaving
Why I was the one worth leaving

[Outro: Jay]
Why I was the one worth leaving
Why I was the one worth leaving
