Your Parents' Livingroom - Shout Out Louds

That’s where I judge your darling

Where the attention comes from

Depends on how much I care

And I do remember waking up with a headache

In your parents' living room

I remember those years

They’re hard not to remember

All the things you wrote then

I know them word by word

But I don’t remember playing your piano

In your parents' living room

Oh, so they say oh, shut up, will you?

It’s so strange how much in life that changes you

And I do remember waking up with a headache

In your parents' living room

A smell and a sound

A moving picture can take you back again

And I, I don’t know how to take it

And you, you don’t know how to spell it

There’s so much we need to say

There’s so much to understand

On my way home in the car you held my hand

And I do remember sleeping in your house

On the floor with the dust in my eye

Oh, so they say, oh, shut up, will you?

There are so many secrets

And I’m telling this one to you

Turning back all the clocks and the memories

From your parents' living room

A smell and a sound

A moving picture can take you back again

And you, you just know how to spell it

And I, I don’t know how to take it
