Broke into the old apartment
This is where we used to live
Broken glass
Broke and hungry
Broken hearts
And broken bones
This is where we used to live

Why did you paint the walls?
Why did you clean the floor?
Why did you plaster over
The hole I punched in the door?

This is where we used to live
Why did you keep the mousetrap?
Why did you keep the dishrack?
These things used to be mine
I guess they still are
I want them back

Broke into the old apartment
Forty two steps from the street
Crooked landing
Crooked landlord
Narrow landing filled with crooks
This is where we used to live

Why did they pave the lawn?
Why did they change the lock?
Why did I have to break it?
I only came here to talk

But this is where we used to live
How is the neighbor downstairs?
How is her temper this year?
I turn up your tv
And stomped on the floor
Just for fun

I know we don't live here anymore
We bought an old house
On the Danforth
She loves me
Her body keeps me warm
and I'm happy again

This is where we used to live
Broke into the old apartment
Tore the phone out of the wall
Only memories
Fading memories
Blending into dull tableaux
I want them back
(I want them back)
This is where we used to live
(I want them back)
This is where we used to live
(I want them back)
This is where we used to live
(I want them back)
