Lyrics

She got a job at a diner in the South Slope
It's a nice place in its own way
She had to move back to Queens
with her mom though
She takes the F train
It's a long way

Charlie's walking out
She knows that he'd be proud
She wakes up early in the morning for the F train
She's making her way
She's making her pay in the South Slope
It's a nice place

He left a hole the size of the world
And she ain't never had nothing
Wasn't asking for gold
Just a place of her own
Place of her own
Place of her own

Carve out a space
Just enough to breathe
For the long nights of uncertainty
Place of her own
Place of her own
Place of her own

Summer is so hot
Winter is so cold
On the F train to the South Slope
And most are people okay in their own way
It's a nice place
But it's a long way

He left a hole the size of the world
And she ain't never had nothing
Wasn't asking for gold
Just a place of her own
Just a place of her own
Just a place of her own
Carve out a space
Just enough to breathe
For the long nights of uncertainty
Place of her own
Place of her own
Place of her own

She says, 'yeah you leave
Yeah you go
Where do I belong
Where do I belong'
 
Yeah you leave
Yeah you go
Where do I belong

She says, 'yeah you leave
Yeah you go
Where do I belong
Where do I belong'
Yeah you leave
Yeah you go
Where do I belong
Where do I belong

He left a hole the size of the world
And she ain't never had nothing
Wasn't asking for gold
Just a place of her own
Just a place of her own
Just a place of her own

Carve out a space just enough to breathe
For the long nights of uncertainty
Place of her own
Place of her own
Place of her own
