Penthouse

[Intro]

Ah-ah-ah-ah

[Verse 1]

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

And we watched cars of bachelorettes, 2 a.m. cigarettes, and traffic headed downtown

And the interstate was so loud, there was a lot it had to drown out

[Chorus]

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

[Verse 2]

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

[Chorus]

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

[Bridge]

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

[Chorus]

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

Oh, we were playing home in a penthouse, baby, hmm

[Outro]

I just bought the house that we saw

You said it was wrong

I wanted it all along
