Stay Happy There Lyrics - Rooms Of The House - La Dispute

If I could play back every moment to you now 

Spent lovesick and swollen on 

Mornings mincing garlic on the counter by the sink 

If I could hit the instant replay on only every good day 

Would any of it catch you by surprise? 

When you say, "something is missing now" 

That's what came back to me 

Normal mornings like that set the knife down and forget where I'd left it 

Making breakfast 

Put coffee on the stove then scour every counter for the knife 

Don't be shy 

Don't be kind 

Somewhere snow collects and bends the boughs of pines

5 Totally Underrated Christmas Songs 

But doesn't it seem a bit wasteful to you 

To throw away all of the time we spent perfecting our love in close quarters and confines? 

Isn't it wasteful? 

And I am terrified that it doesn't feel painful to me yet 

Somewhere on top of the high rise there's a woman on the edge of a building at the ledge 

And traffics backing up on 35 

It's alright 

I will fix whatever is not the sweetness in your eyes 

Just sit down 

Please 

Sit down 

Here 

At the table and we'll talk 

Somewhere televisions light up in the night 

I know things weren't right 

Maybe we were never cut out for the Midwest life 

Maybe we'd have done much better on a coast 

There are certain things I doubt we'll ever know 

Photos 

I know you were getting tired of my drinking 

I guess I was never cut out for the coke scene 

You were worried I would end up like your father and 

Tired of the smoke and somewhere the wind blows 

Somewhere a storm touches down north in Hudsonville 

Somewhere the coffee starts to boil on the stove and 

Somewhere the wind blows 

Somewhere the river levels finally getting low 

Somewhere I'm up past dawn till 

Somewhere you live here still 

Somewhere you're already gone 

Somewhere a radio is playing in a living room 

Says the city lacks the funds to fix the bridge 

Somewhere the deer are overrun so they're introducing wolves back on the ridge 

And from here in the kitchen 

I can hear the neighbors in the alley hanging linens 

And the men collect the trash bins in the street 

You're speaking to me but I can't understand you 

The coffee is burning and 

All of the times that we spent 

That road trip out west 

Through desert for the rest stops the kitsch we both collect 

That winter the whole weekend we huddled by the stove 

The cabin I had rented 

The unexpected snow 

That visit for Christmas 

On television binges 

We'll see friends in Brooklyn 

Drive south to Richmond 

There's traffic on the bridge 

A woman on the ledge 

And everywhere the wind 

Everything is happening at once
