a lovely affair - benjamin gibbard lyrics

Loading...

everyone that i ever knew
was crammed into a little building with a concrete floor
dimly lit, it smelled of stale smoke
and friends were choking back the tears that they had come there for

and i was in a little jar upon the stage
where all my records and guitars were neatly placed

left of the tables of food
sat two girls i could not recall speaking to
and one told the other “don’t cry
we still have three of the others it will be alright”

and i was hovering overhead, taking it in
i could not believe he’s dead; he was just beginning to begin

and there were a number of speeches
where people said what they didn’t want me to know
telling all types of secrets
i wish i would have had a clue five days ago

it would have been quite a surprise
for me to look them dead in the eyes, and say:
“well, it was a lovely affair
people cared more than i had ever thought they would.”

some kids stole what was left of the booze
the cleanup crew worked as hard as they thought they should
and i was in a little jar upon the stage

i could not believe he’s dead; he was just beginning to begin
