"My Apartment Is My Friend" lyrics

David Byrne & Ghost Train Orchestra Lyrics

"My Apartment Is My Friend"

I know every part of you
We've been together for so long
You've seen me at my very worst
But we always get along

You have witnessed my confusion
My triumphs and my shame
The things that no one knows
The moments that we shared

So forgive me if I hesitate
If a tear comes now and then
You stood by me when darkness fell
My apartment is my friend
My apartment is my friend

The days of laughter and joy
When you held me in your arms
Secure and safe within your halls
Free from fear and free from harm

You, when no one understood me
It's a secret, just we two
Between the walls and windows
We're connected, me and you

So forgive me if I hesitate
If a tear comes now and then
You stood by me when darkness fell
My apartment is my friend
My apartment is my friend

So forgive me if I hesitate
If a tear comes now and then
You stood by me when darkness fell
My apartment is my friend
My apartment is my friend
