It's been some time
And I'm still picking up the pieces
I should be feeling good by now
But I don't
It's a perfect day outside
Sun shining right through my window
I should make some plans
But I won't
It's hard to love the city
When you're gone
And I don't really feel
Like moving on
Cape Town Misery
When you're not close to me
It's Cape Town Misery
Cape Town Misery
When you're not close to me
Oh, it's Cape Town Misery
Talk some friends on the phone
Tell them all about my situation
They give me great advice
I'm afraid to use
So I take a walk outside
Up on the slope of Table Mountain
And everybody's gasping at the views
But it's hard to love the city
When you're gone
And I don't really feel
Like moving on
Cape Town Misery
When you're not close to me
It's Cape Town Misery
Cape Town Misery
When you're not close to me
Oh, it's Cape Town Misery
Prettiest city in the whole damn world
Means nothing if I'm here without my girl
Oohhhh
Oohhhh
La lala la
Lala la la
Cape Town Misery
When you're not close to me
It's Cape Town Misery
Cape Town Misery
When you're not close to me
Oh
It's Cape Town Misery
Ooo
