La Dispute - View From Our Bedroom Window Lyrics






You are sleeping in the room alone now
You are restless in the night
When the lightning from the storm strikes, you shine
For a second in the light
I wait
For a moment when the weather breaks
I can feel you in the mattress shake
I can see the way an old pain holds you
Morning falling in the frame
You stay down
I faced my failure in no way I escaped it
In the calm before a breakdown takes
Like a rapture in the night
You fight hard
I faced my own pain in no way I embraced it
In the bedroom with the door locked tight
Like a coward when the flash burns bright I'll hide

Your hands burnt on the torch's flame
Lighting the path away
Brighter than lightning and burning
Striking the ground
We spend summers awake
We shake at shadow shapes
The wind it rattles our chains
We're always turning around

You were standing in the doorway
You were staring in the flames
How the fire from the house next door mixed
With the colors from the cop cars
I saw
Neighbors gathered in the alleyway
In the summer in the heat
I wait for a way that I can chase your pain out
Gather water for the flames
I wait

Nights we both shook
Any noise echoed in our room
Rattled on the floor like shells scattering
Or like hail falling on the hood of our car
Do you remember that drive south?
Coastbound just us two
Savannah west in the mirror
And winter in rearview burning
How the storm fell so harshly we felt swallowed
And traffic stopped before and behind us
Hard rain in sheets grey and unbroken
Hazards flashed dimly in all directions
Like small satellites or like lighthouse beacons
We turned the radio off
I gripped the wheel tight
When the storm burst and clouds split suddenly open to the sky
All colors at once and us dumbstruck with love and terror both
As if before us stood temples ancient and terrifying
The light refracting truth to see death and life in all things

Your hands burnt on the torch's flame
I was the last to change
Strike me like a lightning bolt and burning me down
Your hands burnt on the torch's flame
I was the last to change
Strike me like a lightning bolt and burning me down
The wind rattles our chains
We shake our fists at the pain
We shake at shadow shapes
We cup our hands in the storm
And watch our houses burning
We catch the rain to fight it

    You are sleeping in the room alone now
    You are restless in the night
    When the lightning from the storm strikes, you shine
    For a second in the light, I wait
    For a moment when the weather breaks
    I can feel you in the mattress shake
    I can see the way an old pain haunts you
    Mourning falling into frame
    You stayed down

    I face my failure in the way I escaped it
    In the crumble before a break down takes
    Like a rapture in the night, you fight hard
    I face my own pain the way I embraced it
    In the bedroom with the door locked tight
    Like a coward when the flash burns bright, I'll hide

    Your hands burnt on the torch's flame
    Fighting the path away
    Brighter than lightning and burning, striking the ground
    We spent summers awake
    We shake at shadows shapes
    The wind, it rattles our dreams
    We're always turning around

    You were standing in the doorway
    You were staring in the flames
    How the fire from the house next door mixed
    With the colours of the cop cars I saw
    Neighbours gathered in the alleyway
    In the summer, in the heat, I wait
    For a wind that I can chase your pain out
    Gather fire from the flames, I wait

    Nights we've all shook
    Any noise that got in our room
    Rattled on the floor like shells scattering or like hail falling on the hood of our car
    Do you remember that drive south?
    Coast-bound, just us two
    Savannah west in the mirror and winter in rear-view, burning
    How the storm fell so harshly we felt swallowed

    And traffic stopped before and behind us
    Hard rain and sheets grey and unbroken
    Hazards flashed dimly in all directions like small satellites or like lighthouse beacons
    We turned the radio off
    I gripped the wheel tight when the storm burst and clouds split suddenly open to the sky
    All the colours that were in us, dumbstruck with love and terror and both
    As if before us stood temples ancient and terrifying
    The light refracting truth to see death and life and all things

    Your hands burnt on the torch's flame
    I was the last to change
    Strike me like a lightning bolt and burning me down
    Your hands burnt on the torch's flame
    I was the last to change
    Strike me like a lightning bolt and burning me down
    The wind rattles our chains
    We shake our fists at the pain
    We shake at shadow shapes
    We cup our hands in the storm
    And watch our houses burning
    We catch the rain to fight it

    M.... A....
