Album: Lake Street Dive

I can hear my neighbors making love upstairs

Their love is rattling my tables and my chairs

Keeping me awake

The love they make it's keeping me awake

While I’m just trying to get some sleep on the ground floor

I don’t mind my neighbor making love upstairs

Cause I was once the lover making all my neighbors scared

you and me thundering the floorboards with our power and our force

While they’re just trying to get some sleep on the ground floor

I can hear my neighbors making love upstairs

Their love is amplifying all of my despair

Cause I was once a lover now I have to listen to my neighbors

Making love upstairs from down on the ground floor

from down on the ground floor

from down on the ground floor

In this city all the humans live in layers

I got people down the hall and down the stairs

We all move in and out and live our lives in stacks and rows and pairs

And try to find someone with whom we can share it

I can hear my neighbors making love upstairs

Wish I didn’t have to be so well informed of their affairs

But if I have to hear them doing something, at least they’re having fun

Sometimes I forget that all of us are just human

Cause we’re all stacked in rows and columns

And if one of them should fall on me

My neighbors making love upstairs would crush me

I’m down on the ground floor
