The Apartment Song Lyrics
I used to live in a two-room apartment
neighbors knockin' on my wall
times were hard, I don't wanna knock it
I don't miss it much at all
Chorus
Oh yeah I'm alright I just feel a
little lonely tonight
I'm okay, most of the time
I just feel a little lonely tonight
I used to need your love so badly
then I came to live with it
lately I get a faraway feeling
and the whole thing starts again
(Repeat Chorus and 2nd verse)
This is just about being lonely and how he used to be poor but now he's not.
This song goes way back for me :D Tom Petty rocks!
Yeah, Tom Petty's awesome!
To me this song is just about going through something that's not exactly the best, but realizing that that's life and not letting it get to you. Just keep your head up and roll with the punches.
This man went through difficult times in the past. Now he is reflecting. My husband and I have been in tough times before (finances, work situations, health). We lived in places that were not our first choices. Now it's easier to look back and appreciate a few good/fun little things about those tough times. A park we used to live near, etc.
