[Verse 1] Apartment two fourteen at the end of the hall The door is beige and so is the wall My whole life fits inside that room A ragged couch and a chair for two I sleep there, dress there, leave each day I pay the rent, I turn the key But nothing in there feels like me [Chorus] Apartment 214 I live there, but it ain't home My world is waiting behind that door Lonely and small in 214 So I walk until I can't walk anymore Anything but Apartment 214 [Verse 2] Tonight I'm not home, I'm walking the street Looking for something I know I can't keep Cold in my hands, cold in my feet Empty pocket, bottle of beer I pass people laughing outside a bar Slow down a little, then keep walking on Nobody knows me, nobody asks And for a while I can live with that [Chorus] Apartment 214 I live there, but it ain't home My world is waiting behind that door Lonely and small in 214 So I walk until I can't walk anymore Anything but Apartment 214 [instrumental bridge] [Final Chorus] Apartment 214 I live there, but it ain't home I stand with my hand against the door Knowing what's waiting in 214 I turn the key, but I don't go in Not yet Not yet Apartment 214 [end]
