Above the Chinese Restaurant Songtext
von Laufey

I still freeze when I look at these faded photographs from February
Last 22nd or 23rd
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 'em up, they′d give us some more

Didn't realize we had it all
Even when the roof came caving in that 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
