  • I couldn't find quiet
    I went out in the rain
    I was just soaking my head to unrattle my brain
    Somebody said you disappeared in a crowd
    I didn't understand then
    I don't understand now

    Am I the one you think about
    When you're sitting in your fainting chair, drinking pink rabbits?
    Am I the one you think about
    When you're sitting in your fainting chair, drinking pink rabbits?

    And everybody was gone
    You were staring down the street 'cause you were trying not to crack up

    It wasn't like a rain it was more like a sea
    I didn't ask for this pain, it just came over me
    Well, I love a storm, but I don't love lightning
    All the waters coming up so fast, it's frightening

    Am I the one you think about
    When you're sitting in your fainting chair, drinking pink rabbits?
    Am I the one you think about
    When you're sitting in your fainting chair, drinking pink rabbits?

    And everybody was gone
    I was staring down the street 'cause I was trying not to crack

    I was solid gold
    I was in the fight
    I was coming back from what seemed like a ruin
    I couldn't see you coming so far
    I just turn around and there you are

    I'm so surprised you want to dance with me now
    I was just getting used to living life without you around
    I'm so surprised you want to dance with me now
    You always said I held you way too high off the ground

    You didn't see me, I was falling apart
    I was a white girl in a crowd of white girls in the park
    You didn't see me, I was falling apart
    I was a television version of a person with a broken heart
    You didn't see me, I was falling apart
    I was a white girl in a crowd of white girls in a park
    You didn't see me, I was falling apart
    I was a television version of a person with a broken heart

    And everybody was gone
    You were staring down the street 'cause you were trying not to crack up
    And Bona Drag was still on
    Now I only think about Los Angeles when the sound kicks out
    Now I only think about Los Angeles when the sound kicks out

    You said it would be painless
    A needle in a doll
    You said it would be painless
    It wasn't that at all
    You said it would be painless
    A needle in a doll
    You said it would be painless
    It wasn't that at all (when the sound kicks out)
    Said it would be painless
    A needle in a doll (when the sound kicks out)
    Said it would be painless
    It wasn't that at all Writer/s: Aaron Dessner, Matthew Berninger, Zoe Randell

  • Golvel from Germany"I was a television version of a person with a broken heart" and "You said it would be painless (...) It wasn't that at all" are two of my favorite lines ever. One, a beautiful analogy to the "ideal" broken heart image... the other a very direct reference to the pain of having a broken heart.
