Laufey - Above The Chinese Restaurant Lyrics

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 '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 the 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
