jens lekman - got-jfk lyrics
after the first glass of wine went to my brain
i fell asleep against the airplane’s window pane
a stewardess came by to collect my tray
squinting, i pulled up the window shade
saw ice shelves breaking loose
from the southern tip of greenland
as we cruised comfortably on cruising altitude
i pulled down the shade
and whispered your name
you told me not to follow you
i said i’m not, i have my reasons too
i have a wedding gig, but eschewed
that it’s two performance artists
that i’ve asked to help me through
“patience,” you said, i said “sure
i’ll give you all the time you need
to explore who it is you’re becoming
but before you forget me i want to make sure
that you know the only thing worth
melting glaciers for, is you”
the wedding is in brooklyn, in a bar
not the diviest of dive bars, but still a bar
and it’s not a wedding
it’s a wedding picked apart
a performance piece i’m not sure i’d call art
but i’m grateful for their help and i do my part
i put a suit on and set up my guitar
while i wonder just how close you are
a voice whispering to me in the dark
“time for the ceremony to start”
