Is it still okay that I don't know how to be alone?
Would it be okay if I'd just came home tonight?
We stay in the apartment on the upper west side
And my worst problem is I don't sleep at night
Woman downstairs just lost her mind
And I don't care how, I surely don't care why
Why I know false hope
Why I know false hope

A storm hits the city and the lights go out
Before I can prepare
The whole downtown looks dark like no one lives there
We stay in the apartment on the upper west side
And my worst problem is I don't sleep at night
The woman downstairs just lost her mind,
And I don't care how, I surely don't care why
Why I know false hope
Why I know false hope

She'll be alright tomorrow
Neither of us is gonna sleep tonight
We've false hope
I hear you begging through the wall
A dying animal's last call

Is it still okay that I don't know how to be at all?
There's a party uptown but I just don't feel like I belong at all
Do I?
We stay in the apartment on the upper west side
And my worst problem is I don't sleep at night
The woman downstairs just lost her mind,
And I don't care how, I surely don't care why
Why I know false hope
Why I know false hope

    TranslationThese are the lyrics as in the liner notes (some minor differences from above, which it won't let me edit):

    Is it still OK that I don't know how to be alone?
    Would it be OK if I just came home tonight?
    We share an apartment on the upper west side
    And my worst problem is I don't sleep at night
    Woman downstairs, she's lost her mind
    And I don't care how, sure don't care why

    Why no? False hope
    Why no? False hope

    A storm hits the city and the lights go out before I can prepare
    The whole of downtown looks dark like no one lives there
    We share an apartment on the upper west side
    And my worst problem is I don't sleep at night
    Woman downstairs, she's lost her mind
    And I don't care how, sure don't care why

    Why no? False hope
    Why no? False hope

    She'll be alright tomorrow
    Neither of us are going to sleep tonight
    So it'll come slow
    I hear you banging through the wall
    A dying animal's last call

    Is it still OK that I don't know how to be at all?
    There's a party uptown but I just don't feel like I belong at all
    Do I?
    We share an apartment on the upper west side
    And my worst problem is I don't sleep at night
    Woman downstairs, she's lost her mind
    And I don't care how, sure don't care why

    Why no? False hope
    Why no? False hope
