Capitol city, skyline photo
Skyscrapers shine, the sun's so
Low in the sky

Secretaries at the hot dog vendors
Cabs honk at the bicycle messengers
Rolling by

I can't call with a subway token
Anyway, the phones are all broken
I wish you were here, better yet I wish I was there with you


[Hook]
You wouldn't like it here

You should stay right
Breathin' that country air
You wouldn't like it here..


Capitol towers radiate a steam vent
Scream along with the clarinets and

Arguments echo down the hall

I can't sleep, I can't wake up

Shakin' up, maybe we should break up
I wish you were here, better yet
I wish I was there with you


[Hook]


Capitol city, skyline photo
Picture postcards (...?...) so low in the sky
I can't smile when my heart's still broken

Far away, in love and unspoken
I wish you were here
Or I was there with you..
