La Dispute - Extraordinary Dinner Party Lyrics
Morning after snow storm, stand in the silenceAlmost feel reborn all alone in the streetIt's a certain sort of stillnesswhen the quiet surrounds youThe only sound you shovel on concrete.I remember those piles from the snow plowsAlways seemed much bigger back when I was a kid.Pushed all the snow to the end of the drivewayI was the only person up in the neighborhoodMorning after snowstorm,I turned the ignition and I started my car morning after snowstormI scraped off my windshields with the edge of a credit cardI remember that drive into work.Still can hear the voice coming over the radioListen to our experts give the best tipsFor the next time you entertain dinner guests.I thought of the day, in a tie in the kitchenI sat and I watched you put make-up on.Thought of the day in the basement when I played houseI felt ashamed that I stayed in my head in the same place for so longBecause I was afraid to changeBut it's not an excuse to stay!Morning after snowstormI climbed up on the snowbank and I stared at the neighborhoodMorning after snowstormI think I finally understood what they meant when they saidThere's a calm after the storm.Saw my grandpa at his workbench building grandma's bookshelfWatched a woman walk her trash out to the street.Father alone of the highwayI heard the salt trucks and neighbors off to workSaw my mother, saw how history loops around all of these moments,And then I saw you!In a dress there, with your eyes open wide to put make-up onThought of the day in the basement that I played houseAnd I felt ashamedI'd ignored all the handsthat extended before and around meBecause I was afraid to change,But that's not an excuse to stayIt's not an excuse!
