lyrics

The first night that I spent on my own
I listened to the sirens going by
And I thought, I'll never make it
Without my lover sleeping by my side

The first day that I spent on my own
I dropped my earring down the bathroom drain
And I called his name
Then remembered I was living there alone

I'd gone to look at places, didn't think I could afford them
Until I saw the Craigslist ad for a studio apartment
Above Liberty Street, just enough for me
And I realized I could be free

And if I die on Liberty Street, I think I'll be happy
I feel the light of Liberty Street on my face, and I'm happy
Didn't think my life could change like this, it's strange to be happy
On Liberty Street, in a studio apartment
On Liberty Street, in a studio apartment

The first time that I felt like sleeping in
I got up at noon and no-one said a word
And I thought, how strange
Saying what I want and being heard

I wanted brunch but I'd never dared
To ask the host for a table just for one
It turned out that no-one cared
So I sat and ate my pancakes in the sun
And realized I felt happy there alone

And if I die on Liberty Street, I think I'll be happy
I feel the light of Liberty Street on my face, and I'm happy
Didn't think my life could change like this, it's strange to be happy
On Liberty Street, in a studio apartment
On Liberty Street, in a studio apartment
