This Room - Fat Freddy's Drop

I sit and watch you from my window, Lady

Giving yourself away

You’ve been working hard all day

I see the ground catch at your feet

I see the sweet signs of defeat

Like you’re beaten but you feel no pain

And then you turn to me instinctively

Checking if you’re alone

Like a reflex from my guilty mind

I fall away into the background

Like a shadow on the wall

To leave you with your peace of mind

I watch from my window up high

All alone in this room

So many people go the same way

I think it’s time that I changed my views

Like a king in his lonely kingdom

A ruler who had no rules

Ooh, I got nothing left to lose

I think it’s time that I changed my views

Why did you choose my way?

Why did you come down this lonely street?

Was it to meet me?

Was it to tango?

Well the roots they sound so sweet

Sweeter than gold

Sweeter than fame

Sweeter than honey

More power than money

Walking along this lonely street

Someone I’d like to meet

Someone I’d like to know

As a kindred soul

Oh so spiritual, the sound ran down like waterfalls

Running away, never the same

Changing my view of you everyday

I watch from my window up high

All alone in this room

So many people go the same way

I think it’s time that I changed my views

Like a king in his lonely kingdom

A ruler who had no rules

Ooh, I got nothing left to lose

I think it’s time that I changed my views

I think it’s time that I changed my views

I think it’s time that I changed my views

I think it’s time that I changed my views
