La Dispute - Such Small Hands Lyrics






[2x]
I think I saw you in my sleep, darling,
I think I saw you in my dreams
You were stitching up the seams
On every broken promise that your body couldn't keep.
I think I saw you in my sleep.

I thought I heard the door open, oh, no,
I thought I heard the door open
But I only heard it close.
I thought I heard a plane crashing,
But now I think it was your passion snapping.

I think you saw me confronting my fear,
It went up with the bottle and went down with the beer
And I think you ought to stay away from here
There are ghosts in the walls
And they crawl in your head through your ear.

I think I saw you in my sleep, lover,
I think I saw you in my dreams
You were stitching up the seams
On every mangled promise that your body couldn't keep.
I think I saw you in my sleep.

  12. D.... S....

    I had to come see what kind of music would come from such a pretentious-ass band name and it took me all of five seconds to see that the carpet matches the drapes. Dude needs to let someone else have the mic.

    D.... S....

    what no his voice is calming

  13. j.... r....

    Broken hearted people are trying to get better but will always come back here 💔

    E. E. Cummings wants his poem back. :)

    somewhere i have never travelled,gladly beyond

    by E.E. Cummings 

    somewhere i have never travelled,gladly beyond
    any experience,your eyes have their silence:
    in your most frail gesture are things which enclose me,
    or which i cannot touch because they are too near

    your slightest look easily will unclose me
    though i have closed myself as fingers,
    you open always petal by petal myself as Spring opens
    (touching skilfully,mysteriously)her first rose

    or if your wish be to close me,i and
    my life will shut very beautifully,suddenly,
    as when the heart of this flower imagines
    the snow carefully everywhere descending;

    nothing which we are to perceive in this world equals
    the power of your intense fragility:whose texture
    compels me with the colour of its countries,
    rendering death and forever with each breathing

    (i do not know what it is about you that closes
    and opens;only something in me understands
    the voice of your eyes is deeper than all roses)
    nobody,not even the rain,has such small hands

    K.... H....

    Kent Hawley only thing similar is the end.
    Artistic freedom wants its license back :)

    K.... H....

    @Daniel Puig I was teasing.

  17. S.... 2....

    My intersex friend used this song to teach me how to do screamo correctly

  18. N.... O....

    I thought I heard a plane crashing?

  19. N.... O....

    I think you oughta stay way from here there are ghost in the wall and they crawl in your head through your ears

  20. N.... O....

    It went up with the bottle and down with the beer

  21. P.... 1....

    the title is based on a poem that is based off of a book called the glass menagerie where 2 people live with their emotionally manipulative mother and one of them dips and feels bad at the end for his sister

  22. b.... ....

    I need more like this acoustic, clearly screamo! Pls comment the Bands like this! https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLGrlP606_04XhIkxIQda8cZCHgHyX248z

  23. T.... M....

    2020 and still depressed, anyone?

  24. S.... ....

    Bro he sounds like he’s being held captive at gunpoint and being forced to sing

  25. R.... F....

    I'm absolutely in love with with these songs 😭

  26. R.... M....

    This guy sounds like Tom Green, This song should appear in Freddy got Fingered 2.

  27. J.... S....

    This shit actually bumps

  28. T.... D....

    Yo is this man okay ?

  29. C.... Z....

    Ithinkisawyouinmysleepspacebar

  30. b.... p....

    this sounds like modest mouse and twenty one pilots

    b.... p....

    eh...tyler used to use that tone of voice in rab and npi. but he doesn’t anymore. same with this type of beat.

  31. M.... A....

    I thought I heard the door open, oh no, thought I heard the door open but I only heard it close. I discovered this album when I was 15 exactly and it remains one of my favorite albums. The poetry on this album is irreplaceable.

  32. N.... N....

    morty is goin THRU IT

  33. R.... ....

    I used to be OBSESSED with La Dispute, but I completely forgot about them. I remembered today that there was this music I really used to like and I couldn't remember ANYTHING and it was literally killing me. I found them again after like 30 minutes of searching and OH MY GOD FINALLY I CAN NOW REST AND ENJOY LISTENING TO THEM AGAIN

  34. S.... C....

    Nobody:

    Not even the rain:

    S.... C....

    too good not to be stolen, but if it isn't stolen here's a like.

    S.... C....

    Donnies Donnies it’s not stolen! Besides, this meme is rather recent? I suppose. And most of these comments are rather old by either several months or years

  35. U.... t....

    Morty going through puberty

  36. W.... A....

    How comically emo but I love it at the same time

  37. A.... R....

    this song is so painful to me because it reminds me everyday that the reason why I'm so sad is not only because he doesn't love me anymore (or if he ever did) but also because Im just another symptom of the things that are wrong with him and I can't do anything to help him, I'm not the one and it hurts so fucking much

  38. D.... ....

    I’m going to miss you M

  39. D.... ....

    Fuck!!!!!

  40. M.... C....

    michael cera?

  41. H.... R....

    This is epic. Just now finding

  42. G.... ....

    Yo this song got low key bars🔥🔥🔥

  43. e.... i....

    Is this Atmosphere

  44. H.... V....

    Jesus Christ this is haunting

  45. B.... B....

    So much emotion in everything this band does!

  46. O.... S....

    This brings back 9th grade emo angst I forgot I had.

  47. G.... A....

    This reminds me of Mewithoutyou

  48. a.... a....

    i love this song still

  49. A.... J....

    You guys were the first band I toured with. The band house.. you save my friend from falling off the house to his death and we watch horrible porn on the projector for laughter. I love you guys and your music so much sincerlery the other Alan Jackson

  50. L.... R....

    The first time i heard this i thought he was raping

  51. k.... ....

    Those quiet measures hit like a wave of stifling thought

  52. M.... L....

    Tom Green?

  53. a.... a....

    this is so beautiful

  54. M.... A....

    This is like if ween realised a slightly blackened neo post-rock emo album

  55. s.... a....

    I listened to this so much when I was a teenager ahhhh ❤

  56. J.... _....

    It’s like poetry

  57. c.... l....

    i don’t really know what i just listened to...


    but like- i didn’t not like it

  58. b.... ....

    I thought i heard a plane crashing now i think it was just 9/11

  59. S.... S....

    I didn’t know Morty from “Rick and Morty” was the lead singer in a band...🤔

  60. C.... L....

    i just had a dream ab my ex last night and i always have them, but last night i actually saw his face.

  61. N.... C....

    Do people actually listen to this?

    N.... C....

    I'm guessing you listen to some gay rap or trap music?

    N.... C....

    @depressed metal weebSmith's

    N.... C....

    Yes, people actually do. This is my favorite band of all time. Ive been through some TOUGH shit and music like this helps cope.

  62. e.... ....

    This is terrible. Fuck this is bad.

  63. N.... R....

    What the hell is wrong with this shouting desperate man?

  64. N.... B....

    Listened to this song when I was 9 I'm 13 now and I was just reminded of it and I found it 😊 the nistolgia is amazing

  65. B.... R....

    very well represented harmonic-poetry this is. 👍🏼

  66. A.... J....

    when he said
    *i think i saw you in my sleep LOVERRRR*

  67. e.... ....

    Holy shit this is so trash

  68. H.... ....

    its been years but this shit still hit different lmao

  69. s.... s....

    screaming inside like this :(

  70. B.... K....

    So this is what crap music sounds like 🤮

    B.... K....

    No, you must be thinking of Hip Hop. But then, Hip Hop is not really music, just crap.

    B.... K....

    @Michael Spengler this music is trash dude and you know it

    B.... K....

    Not everyone goes through life getting what they want, Some people go through crazy shit and music like this helps.

    B.... K....

    @Ayden Allen you think I went through my life getting my way the whole time...... difference is instead of crying like a child I maned up 😏

  71. I.... B....

    BWAHAHAHAHA

  72. L.... N....

    This song is really unnerving with a build up with his voice quavering as if he’s about to break down, but the tension being built up is never released.

  73. T.... G....

    Fuck...never fails to make me cry

  74. M.... C....

    I can't be the only BNHA fan that thought of this but

  76. A.... A....

    Why am I just finding this band now, their songs hit different 🖤

  77. S.... ....

    I heard a lo-fi version of this song and I’ve been trying to find it ever since. I gotta say it, this non lo-fi version is straight trash but if anyone can help me find the other version, that’d be great

  78. M.... S....

    I was looking up the e. e. cummings poem with the line, "No one, not even the rain, has such small hands," and this video came up.
    What a treat. I love the lyrics, especially this --


    "I think you oughta stay away from here
    There are ghosts in the walls and they
    Crawl in your head through your ear"


    and


    "I think you saw me confronting my fear
    It went up with the bottle
    And went down with the beer"


    "I hope you’ll hear me in the streetlights humming
    Softly breathing out your name"


    "
    ....even with the distance
    Slowly wearing out your name."


    Bravo

  79. C.... S....

    KEINER GIBT DEN NUTTEN SO WIE DIETER

  80. L.... R....

    This shit goes hard when you're high

  81. A.... C....

    alright emo morty

  82. c.... b....

    This song(s) always reminds me of my ex 🤕 her hands still catch the light the right way and our hearts still beat the same. Though she's stuck In A terrible place and is too for lack of better words sensitive to do anything about it. I wish you the best 🙏

  83. n.... x....

    Question: why is this version a bit longer and why I can't find it on spotify or anywhere else? Sorry maybe it's a stupid question but I really love this song and It sucks not being able to listen the whole thing out of Youtube.

    n.... x....

    This are 2 different songs put together, 1st song his called Such Small Hands, 2nd song is Nobody not even the rain

  84. E.... B....

    This song is absolute and utter trash

  85. C.... G....

    Why'd this make me cry 🤨

  86. J.... L....

    Why does he sound like Morty though?

  87. A.... ....

    I thought I heard a plan crashing. But now I think it was your ass cheeks clapping

    A.... ....

    Great these will forever be the new lyrics in my head every time I hear this song.

    A.... ....

    I was crying and now I’m laughing crying

    A.... ....

    God fucking dammint, thank you so much

    A.... ....

    You really make me read this with my own two eyes

    A.... ....

    😔😔

  88. J.... ....

    I’ve got your restraining order. Restrain this!

  89. J.... R....

    DARLING I THINK I SAW YOU IN MY DREAMS

  90. T.... L....

    :O
    didn't know until recently that these songs are a direct reference of Cummings's "somewhere i have never travelled,gladly beyond"

    Laste strophe:
    (i do not know what it is about you that closes
    and opens;only something in me understands
    the voice of your eyes is deeper than all roses)
    nobody,not even the rain,has such small hands

  91. H.... T....

    Went up with the bottle and down with the beer . 🚫

  92. S.... ....

    The fact that we both knew this song got me sex one time.

  93. c.... ....

    I think i saw you in my swamp, donkey

    c.... ....

    😂😂😂

    c.... ....

    You sir are truly a champion of legend

    c.... ....

    SHUT UP😂😂😂😂

    c.... ....

    I am losing my fucking mind at this comment 😂💀

  94. b.... j....

    every broken promise that your body couldnt keep

  95. C.... F....

    I dedicated this video for CraigTucker90, my best friend I look up to as a brother.

  96. A.... S....

    I'm full-blown scene kid tonight, fresh razor blade and all

  97. R.... W....
