We moved to a place with a view off
Of eight avenue after we said I do
And we watched cars of bachelorettes
2 AM cigarettes and traffic headed downtown
And the interstate was so loud
There was a lot it had to drown out
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
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
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
It hurts putting **** in a box
And now we don't talk
And it stings rolling up the welcome mat
Knowing you got half
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
I just bought the house that we saw
You said it was wrong
I wanted it all along
