Lyrics
Firmament
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
So my heart did a back flip
I guess that’s what they’d say
I hadn't seen her since high school graduation
I brought my old hopes
She brought her fiance
And we shared some inane conversation
Just as beautiful, oh just as charming
But lord, what is this third dimension
She has the dignity of a life not for me
Plans that I needed a wrench in
So I guess it goes to show
Something a young man ought to know
Angels are just people too
In my dark ages
When I was the earth
And my universe spun out around
They lined the firmament
These angels of mine
So pretty, and so far from the ground
Just as beautiful, oh just as charming
But lord, what is this third dimension
She has the dignity of a life not for me
Plans that I needed a wrench in
So I guess it goes to show
Something a young man ought to know
Angels are just people too
And oh, when I smashed out the pedestal
What a pleasant surprise
Here the all were, half of the world
Only holy through my teenage eyes
Just as beautiful, oh just as charming
But lord, what is this new dimension
Inconceivable that a girl could be more
Than a foil for my romantic pretensions
So I guess it goes to show
Something a young man ought to know
Angels are just people too
Yeah now I finally know what I should have long ago
Thank god, they're just people, too
