Vienna Teng - Recessional lyrics
[Vienna Teng - Recessional lyrics]
"It's so beautiful here, " she said
"This moment now, this moment now, "
And I never thought I'd find her here
Flannel and satin, my four walls transformed
But she's looking at me, straight to center
No room at all for any other thought
And I know I don't want this
Oh, I swear I don't want this
There's a reason not to want this
But, I forgot
In the terminal she sleeps on my shoulder
Hair falling forward, mouth all askew
Fluorescent announcements beat their
Wings overhead:
"Passengers missing, we're looking for you"
And she dreams through the noise
Her weight against me
Face pressed into the corduroy grooves
Maybe it means nothing
Maybe it means nothing
Maybe it means nothing
But, I'm afraid to move
And the words, they're everything and nothing
I want to search for her
In the offhand remarks
Who are you, taking coffee, no sugar?
Who are you, echoing street signs?
Who are you
The stranger and the shell of a lover
Dark curtains drawn by the passage of time
Oh words, like the rain, how sweet the sound
"Well anyway, " she says
"I'll see you around"
"This moment now, this moment now, "
And I never thought I'd find her here
Flannel and satin, my four walls transformed
But she's looking at me, straight to center
No room at all for any other thought
And I know I don't want this
Oh, I swear I don't want this
There's a reason not to want this
But, I forgot
In the terminal she sleeps on my shoulder
Hair falling forward, mouth all askew
Fluorescent announcements beat their
Wings overhead:
"Passengers missing, we're looking for you"
And she dreams through the noise
Her weight against me
Face pressed into the corduroy grooves
Maybe it means nothing
Maybe it means nothing
Maybe it means nothing
But, I'm afraid to move
And the words, they're everything and nothing
I want to search for her
In the offhand remarks
Who are you, taking coffee, no sugar?
Who are you, echoing street signs?
Who are you
The stranger and the shell of a lover
Dark curtains drawn by the passage of time
Oh words, like the rain, how sweet the sound
"Well anyway, " she says
"I'll see you around"
