Lyrics: Darlene Zschech. Other. The Record Will Start Skipping.


it's an awkward first encounter

we need a minute to shake off the rust

and it feels so good to see you again



but it's clear that there is no us



and i can't fight this feeling

that this is either the begining

of something beautiful

or the winding down of a tragedy

and i'm not reeling

i'm just slowly sinking

into somber feelings

and searching for some clarity



are you listening?

cause i am listening hard

to the sound of you sleep

trying hard to count

the subtulties of the reasons

you mean so much to me



and i can't fight this feeling

if i let the needle drop

the record will just start skipping

cause i have this sinking suspision

we've been here once before

and i don't mind revealing

cause the secrets loose their meaning

on the hundreth time

i've sang the line

cause you've heard it all before



it's an awkward first encounter

we need a minute to shake off the rust
