bells larsen - people who mean so much to me lyrics

[verse 1]
two nights before i flew out west
i went to my friend’s show
when she walked out on stage
she was followed by someone i didn’t know
completely captured by
a stranger’s melodies
i wondered what would happen
if they made music out of me

[pre+chorus]
everyone i’ve never met has shaped me in some way
if that night i was a moth, the stranger was a flame
[chorus]
isn’t it lovely to think i’ll keep meeting people
who mean so much to me

[verse 2]
last year i worked at a bar
that stays open until three
my favourite regular was
an old man who’d lost his memory
i read hundreds of stories
from the lines on his face
i began to understand
there are some things time cannot erase

[pre+chorus]
sometimes i still see him in the streets of outremont
he never recognizes me, but i still stop to talk to him

[chorus]
isn’t it lovely to think i’ll keep meeting people
who mean so much to me

[bridge]
once a week i meet with a kid
and teach him how to write songs
today he told me he was g+y
and wants to come out to his mom
he asked me if i’d help him
string together some words
that might allude to the fact
that he won’t grow up to marry a girl
[bridge]
what a powerful thing to tell the world who you love
especially when you’re fourteen and the world is your mom
when i was his age i was consumed by the same thing
if only i’d have known him then, together we would sing

[chorus]
isn’t it lovely to think i’ll keep meeting people
who mean so much to me
who mean so much to me
