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..
