Above The Chinese Restaurant

(앨범: Everything I Know About Love - 2022)

I still freeze when I look at these faded photographs from February
Last twenty second or twenty third
Shared some dumplings, whispered some words
We had two, maybe three bucks saved between us
Sat in blankets on the floor
Used to wish for money in rain
A west side apartment, paper plane

Ooh, then you left in May
Took the wrong long way back home
Wish I'd known that I had all I could want
In our tiny apartment above the Chinese restaurant

Street sounds blistered with neon lights
Heard the neighbors snoring every other night
Eating dumplings from next door
Finish all my plate, give us some more
Didn't realize we had it all
Even when the roof came caving in the fall
Oh, I loved you more than you know
Covered in flakes of crystal white snow

Ooh, then you left in May
Took the wrong long way back home
Wish I'd known that I had all I could want
In our tiny apartment above the Chinese restaurant
Ooh-ooh
