Lyrics Alphabet City - The National

I don't miss the world, not the way it was
I can't get there
Try to think of it, always at a loss
I can't get there

All of your lonesomeness kept in your wallet
Nobody notices, baby, you've got this

I'll still be here when you come back from space
I will listen for you at the door

Take forever off anytime you want
I'll save your place
If anybody asks, I'll say you're coming back
We'll just have to wait

Sometimes I wanna drive around and find you
And act like it's a random thing
I always wonder if you ever feel
Like I blew up all chances of this happening

I'm not over it, don't know what it is
I can't get there
Something's wrong with me like it always is
I can't get there

All of your lonesomeness kept in your wallet
Nobody notices, baby, you've got this
Everything's orchestrated, follow the arrows
Let's meet where we used to in Alphabet City

I'll still be here when you come back from space
I will listen for you at the door
Sometimes I barely recognize this place
When you're with me, I don't miss the world
