Benjamin Gibbard Teardrop Windows lyrics

Teardrop windows crying in the sky
He is all alone and wondering why
Ivory white, but feeling kind of blue
'cause there's no one there to share the view

There's too many vacancies
He's been feeling oh so empty...
When the sun sets over the Sound
He just goes to sleep

Built and boast as the tallest on the coast
He was once the city's only toast
In old post cards, was positioned as the star
He was looked up to with fond regard
But in 1962, the needle made its big debut
And everybody forgot, what it outgrew

He wonders where the workers are
who once filled every floor
The elevators operate,

but don't much anymore..., anymore..., anymore...

Teardrop windows crying in the sky
How the years have quickly passed him by
Gleaming white against the deepest baby blue
He is lonely just like me and you

Cause there's too many vacancies
He's been feeling oh so empty...
When the sun sets over the Sound
He just goes to sleep

There's too many vacancies
He's been feeling oh so empty...
When the maid they turn out the lights
He just goes to sleep
