lirik lagu jens lekman - just for one moment

Loading...

i met a friend at a bar last night
and a song came on i hadn’t heard in a long time
a song i knew by heart, a song so fine
a classic in its own right
turned to my friend and said, “i love this tune”
he laughed and said, “of course you do”
and i realized the song was mine
the swedish spring was dressed in yellow
lemon b~tterflies and tussilago
and people moved to the song
they hugged their friends and sang alone
the bartender cranked up the stereo

the curse of the songwriter is to never get to experience
the experience, what the listener can sense
to never be on that other side of the fence
but for a couple seconds in that bar, i was
i heard it all, it was glorious
and humbly i thought
“who knew i was a freakin’ g~nius?”

and the curse for a human is to never know
how another person feels
for them deep down below
if you ever truly reached their soul
i hadn’t seen you in a while
but then some photos fl!cked by
your haircut and your jacket were new
in those photos you looked happy
as if nothing had transpired
i wondered if i’d left something in you
if just for one moment
i reached in
if you’d felt what i had felt
somewhere within
if just for one moment
it was love
or if that question is
answer enough

an offer came in
it’d been a while since i’d played any wedding
but this one felt different
these two women, something about them
set them apart
their story touched a distant place in my heart
i sat down by the piano to write for them
and lost myself for hours in
melodies and chords that felt like
they had been sent to me from heaven
i thought of us, how we’d gone wrong
i thought of how the point of a song
is not the note you end it on
but to sing and dance while it goes on

if just for one moment
i reached in
if you’d felt what i had felt
somewhere within
if just for one moment
you felt the same
then wasn’t it worth the tears
worth the pain?
i ran through what i’d written
scribbled down the chords and lyrics on a napkin
hailed a cab and arrived just in time to begin
turned to the couple and started to sing
