Another Town
Regina Spektor · Begin to Hope [2006]
Don't let me forget
In another town
Mouth full of regret
In another town
Please place final bets
In another town
But I know, I know, I know [oh, oh]
In another town
My fingers so cold
In another town
My soul feels so old
In another town
I've sold all my gold
But I know, I know, I know [oh, oh]
I love you...
In another town
They've given me the key
In another town
I'm drinking for free
In another town
A girl just like me
In another town
But I know, I know, I know [oh, oh]
In another town
The light fills my room
In another town
They're painting my moon
In another town
I won't see it soon
In another town
But I know, I know, I know [oh, oh]
I love you..
