Haven’t Heard You Laugh in a Long Time by Matthew Milia

Snowflakes big as bumblebees
McMansions through the twilight trees
The sterile solace hibernating there

The weekend comes, we’ll have some fun
I feel so bad for anyone
Divorced from that sweet force
That made them care

And I haven’t heard you laugh in a long time
Haven’t heard you laugh in a long time
Haven’t heard you laugh in a long time
Haven’t heard you laugh in a long time

A secret sorrow fills the yard
And all along the boulevard
Buses growling northward to our home

The lilacs bloom and I’ll be there
A bathroom where the light’s so rare
Streaking in a childhood monochrome

And I haven’t heard you laugh in a long time
Haven’t heard you laugh in a long time
Haven’t heard you laugh in a long time
Haven’t heard you laugh in a long time

Everyone that you know
Has got a reason to
Hold onto the flow
That sent them into
The present tense is full of recompense and wonder
It’ll level out just like a shout blends into thunder
We’ll drive up Adams Road until the wheels fall off and I just

Haven’t heard you laugh in a long time
Haven’t heard you laugh in a long time
Haven’t heard you laugh in a long time
Haven’t heard you laugh in a long time

Snowflakes big as bumblebees
McMansions through the twilight trees
The sterile solace hibernating there
