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
