๐ Lyrics
When you're a wedding singer, you're not the star of the night
The spotlight's not on you, your place is to the side
But you get to be an observer, you get to see what others don't
That it's in these very moments we appear as most alone
You stand there by the entrance, in the back, behind the pews
From the trees in the churchyard, a song is sung for you
Roo-coo-coo-coo-coo
The mourning doves croon
The heart is not a question
That there's an answer to
As you set up your equipment later at the reception
You listen to the speeches, other people's life lessons
All the human longing, all its inherent contradictions
Love is brutally simple, it's either there or it isn't
And we don't notice till the other, forgets the lyrics to a tune
That we've never practiced, but somehow always knew
Roo-coo-coo-coo-coo
What else can we do
Than hope that what I'm feeling
Is what you're feeling too?
That this means farewell to all farewells
That the love we have can defy gravity itself
The spotlight's not on you, your place is to the side
But you get to be an observer, you get to see what others don't
That it's in these very moments we appear as most alone
You stand there by the entrance, in the back, behind the pews
From the trees in the churchyard, a song is sung for you
Roo-coo-coo-coo-coo
The mourning doves croon
The heart is not a question
That there's an answer to
As you set up your equipment later at the reception
You listen to the speeches, other people's life lessons
All the human longing, all its inherent contradictions
Love is brutally simple, it's either there or it isn't
And we don't notice till the other, forgets the lyrics to a tune
That we've never practiced, but somehow always knew
Roo-coo-coo-coo-coo
What else can we do
Than hope that what I'm feeling
Is what you're feeling too?
That this means farewell to all farewells
That the love we have can defy gravity itself
