The camera’s straight on you as you glance up
In a boring classroom scene.
We are seated there beside the window
As everything fades into sepia.

I found you in the library
Moving in slow motion
Like I was watching a classic old movie
With deep sentiments conveyed on-screen.

That’s right. I want to see you.
Ahh, but then I want to forget you.

On 3, 2, 1 I open the album and connect to my memories
Entering into the world of 8mm film.
I glance behind me and there’s your seat
Even Shakespeare had his Romeo and Jealousies.

As I hand out the worksheets
I waver on whether to speak to you.
You might not quite be Audrey Hepburn,
But you’re still a brilliant heroine.

That’s right. I want to see you.
Ahh, but then I want to forget you.

The lighting equipment beams brightly
And floods out of the broadcasting room
As colour starts seeping into the world.
If the backdrop comes to include a blue sky
Then there’s some scenery I’d love to show you.

And there’s a season that comes into place.
And there’s a miracle I’d love to show you.
Begin on 3, 2, 1
All prepared? 3, 2, 1.

I will send you to the 20th century
Even though I wish to forget you after.
But even that being, to your seat,
To the seat behind me, I will offer the grand scenes I’ve made.
