Текст песни The Best View

Did I ever tell you that my rooftop is the best view in the city
You can see everything from here
And I get the sense from the laundromat next door
Through my window facing westward on the second floor

Me and the cats have got our heads up to the screen
We're watching the rain make everything clean
And thinking about something you said
Or was it a line from a poem I once read? Yeah

This is not a song for you
It's a song for your memory
Watching a sunset I wish you could see
You're not here
You're not here
You're not here now

Starting to see not much has changed because
The sunset without you is no less pretty than it ever was

And my imagination is setting sail inside my head
Fishing for sense I'm seeing all the words you said
I was thinking you might let me off a hook or two
If you really understand me like you always said you do
But you're not here
You're not here
You're not here now

You're not here
You're not here
You're not here now

Did I ever tell you that my rooftop is the best view in the city
You can see everything from here
And the cold nights call for extra blankets on the bed
And the long nights call for extra hands to hold your head

And I'm starting to see not much has changed because
The sunset without you is no less pretty than it ever was
Than it ever was
Than it ever was
Than it ever was
