Mitski - Square Lyrics
Your room was square
I once noticed from there
In your bed, as you slept,
And I held my breath
Everything had its own place
In the order you kept
I tried to eat like your girlfriend
Just tea in the night, I'd end up
Too hungry to sleep
So lying awake, I would follow the aching inside,
I would find
It's for you won't be mine
I tried my hardest, for I'd never learned
And I would've offered you all that you yearned for
But I was still waiting for something to earn
What is that quiet of snow in the night?
The dark rings with white noise
As you stand and drown
Maybe it's all of these snowflakes, screaming
A choir of mute
As they brace for the ground
Well that's my ride
Hope you had a good night
You know, you made me happy
Here shake my hand
You make such a good man
Never once did you know me
I tried my hardest, for I'd never learned
God's very simple and love doesn't burn
And maybe you offered me all that I yearned for
But I was still waiting for something to earn
Silly me, waiting.

Mitski Square Comments
this is so raw
The cut from the buildup to the sudden “well that’s my ride” is one of the most perfect moments in music ever. It perfectly captures the miscommunication and complicated interpretation of love and confrontation. It also just symbolizes how life can just cut you off from the closure you really wanted and her buildup after shows how you have to work for it in order to get it. Anyway, that part of the song always hits my heart SO HARD. I wish I could personally thank Mitski for everything that she’s done because her music has changed me as a person completely.
Love shouldn't burn but the love I have for you, Mitski, is white-hot...

This is no bones about it the BEST yearning song in the world. i keep falling for straight boys w girlfriends and priorities beyond me and this song 1hko's me every single time it comes on
This is probably one of the best songs in the entire universe and not alot of people know about it :(
this beautiful
(if you play it at 1.25 speed it fucking slaps)
This song is so perfect
mitski gave me my rights
Your room was square
I once noticed from there
In your bed, as you slept
And I held my breath
Everything had its own place
And I wondered what space would I take
In the order you kept
I tried to eat like your girlfriend
Just tea in the night, I’d end up
Too hungry to sleep
So lying awake, I would follow the aching inside
I would find
It’s for you won’t be mine
I tried my hardest, for I’d never learned
God’s very simple and love shouldn’t burn
And I would’ve offered you all that you yearned for
But I was still waiting for something to earn
What is that quiet of snow in the night?
The dark rings with white noise
As you stand and drown
Maybe it’s all of these snowflakes, screaming
A choir of mute
As they brace for the ground
Well that’s my ride
Hope you had a good night
You know, you made me happy
Here shake my hand
You make such a good man
Never once did you know me
I tried my hardest, for how do you learn
God’s very simple and love doesn’t burn
And maybe you'd offered me all that I yearned for
But I was still waiting for something to earn
Silly me, waiting
I think this is my fave Mitski song now
the part about snowflakes is so perfectly cathartic. anybody who has lived in nyc during the winter understands the exact feeling. a quiet, streetlamp-lined street filled with the swirling of snowflakes who just seem to be screaming for something just out of reach. the orange glow of the city seems stronger then. its one of the few times you get to experience nature living in a city as big as this. its so incredibly beautiful and ive never seen anything encapsulate the feeling as aptly as that verse. truly heart-wrenching

The studio version is the perfect song to sleep to, while the live piano version is the perfect song to cry to before you sleep.
