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
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
We’d have dumplings from next door
Finish them 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 crystal white snow
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

This is amazing mam! I the beat is so lo fi . You suit Lofi sounds playing behind you… You'd make them sound like butterflies anyways…
If you have the time and resources, I’d love a music video of this song… it tells such a beautiful story 🥺
The guy you like must be so lucky
how does she capture the emotions so well into the music… just from the intro and the strings, it feels like a tender winter memory, it feels like homesickness and reminiscing youth… such a beautifully sad song
ur music has been my comfort esp when im doing my thesis lol <3
this is the most beautiful song I've listened to this year ❤ thank you so much Laufey
I'd love to see you in Nashville this month but it's sold out 🙁
I love this song!☺
I wanna cuddle with a lover after eating take out on a rainy day because of this song 🕯♥
I've been involved with music all my life and I don't think I've ever cried at a piece of music, but some of your songs have gotten me the closest I ever have to crying. Your music is a gift to the world. Please never stop making music!
