about

Rehearsal, Mar. 16, 2011.

lyrics

i let it lag behind me
like a thousand times before
but rather than unwind me
it wound me even more.

when it came to find me
i was running, unaware
wondering if i should be
arriving anywhere.

who knew that falling in love would mean anything to me?
who knew that calling it love would be such a relief?

chorus:
i couldn't hear the song about to start
my heart beat right along oblivious
i couldn't see her standing in the wings
when the song about to start changed everything.

she paced backstage decidedly
the violins tuned up.
i could see that there was something
she was certain of.

trembling but slight, stumbling just so
she took what she'd been hiding
and let everybody know.

who knew that falling in love would mean anything to me?
who knew that calling it love would be such a relief?

(chorus)

i'd describe it as astonishing
'though the audience were applauding
they couldn't hear a thing...

i could only hear the song about to start
it leapt right from her heart and into mine
the secret that the two of us knew then
was that the song about to start would never end.
