Like so many of our most formative friendships, this one started in a dorm room, and despite the years that have passed, Knipe recalls every part of that initial greeting on the sweet indie pop song that is “Berlin.” With the inclusion of keys, soft acoustic work, and Knipe’s tender vocals, one can...
[Verse 1]
You flee when it's hard
And I stay put
You say you're a bird
But you're flying East for winter
And now I'm telling you not to go
You won't hear it anyway
But what are you going towards?
Is it something you can't say?
[Chorus]
Sit in the car parked in the dark, hearing rain drop on the roof
Sit in the car parked in the dark, hearing rain drop on the roof
[Verse 2]
Today marks the sixth year
From when I first met you
A stranger gave us a beer
In the hallway of the bathroom
And we drank it real slow
I was just trying to get to know you
In the dorm room we sing "Violet" by Hole
Screaming off our youth
[Chorus]
Sit in the car parked in the dark, hearing rain drop on the roof
(In the dark, in the dark, in the dark)
Sit in the car parked in the dark, hearing rain drop on the roof
(In the dark, in the dark, in the dark)
Sit in the car parked in the dark, hearing rain drop on the roof
(In the dark, in the dark, in the dark)
Sit in the car parked in the dark, hearing rain drop on the roof
(In the dark, in the dark, in the dark)
[Bridge]
And it's the slow burning of our excuse
The push and pull, the comets, the waiting room
And if you go at least give me a reason
I will sit in the car parked in the dark, hearing rain drop on the roof
Sit in the car parked in the dark, hearing rain drop on the roof
[Outro]
(In the dark, in the dark, in the dark)
I am in the dark of Berlin watching snow, piling in it
I am in the dark of Berlin shadow, and I'm following it
(In the dark, in the dark, in the dark)
I am in the dark of Berlin watching snow, piling in it
I am in the dark of Berlin shadow, and I'm wallowing in it
(In the dark, in the dark, in the dark)
