Empty Penthouse Suites

Never think twice
Believe it or not
Staring down at street light amber now

You said you can't stop looking out
Over this scene that used to knock you down

But you can't defeat the system
Waiting for a minute to calm down

And we can't go the distance
Speeding through a new pain factor now

She said that I'll miss this place
Empty penthouse suites that drag you down

And I can't take another day
Looking out on this scene that haunts you now

Never think twice
Believe it or not
High above this gridlocked madness town

Looked back as you pulled away
Saw through all the mirrored lights somehow

But you never seem to get it
Waiting for the light to strike you down

And we won't go the distance
Speeding through this midnight factor now

But does it come on time?
Does it stick around?
Or does it hide alone
In a crowded room?

Does it come when called?
Can you find it in your crystal ball?
When the light's out
In your room

Said I'm gonna miss this place
Empty penthouse suites that drag you down

And I can't take another day
Looking out on this scene that haunts you now

Said I'm gonna miss this place
Empty penthouse suites where you come down

And I can't take the interplay
Wondering if you might stick around
