"Neighbor Song" lyrics - 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
I'm down on the ground floor
I'm down on the ground floor
