Rock the SAT - “Silence, Reticence”
“Harbinger”
Rock the SAT
You’re a harbinger of good things to come
A sign that it’s all changing for me
It’s happiness, euphoria, it’s something out of a fantasy
Life was so jejune before I met you
It was so ordinary
Prosaic and banal, pedestrian, mundane
Nothing extraordinary
So I took a sojourn, I took a short trip
I needed a respite
A break from the routine that enveloped me, that surrounded me
Well I look back with incredulity
I cannot believe that you rescued me
You’re a harbinger of good things to come
A sign that it’s all changing for me
It’s happiness, euphoria, it’s something out of a fantasy
I’m so morose when you’re not around
I’m sad and glum when I’m all alone
I’ve a penchant for your company
Your company is my tendency
We’re balanced, you and me
We are symmetry
Let me be a raconteur, a story teller
Tell you my agenda
A list of ways for us to celebrate, to exult in each other
Turn our love into a wild fire, a conflagration, burning through and through
Turn our love into a mosaic
A picture with a million different pieces spelling out the words “I love you.”
When I saw you I had an epiphany
A revelation, a moment of clarity
You’re a harbinger of good things to come
A sign that it’s all changing for me
It’s happiness, euphoria, it’s something out of a fantasy
I’m so morose when you’re not around
I’m sad and glum when I’m all alone
I’ve a penchant for your company
Your company is my tendency
You’re a harbinger of good things to come
A sign that it’s all changing for me
It’s happiness, euphoria, it’s something out of a fantasy
I’m so morose when you’re not around
I’m sad and glum when I’m all alone
I’ve a penchant for your company
Your company is my tendency
You’re the state of being supreme
You are supremacy
We’re balanced, you and me,
We are symmetry
You’re the state of being supreme
You are supremacy
You’re my little harbinger, you’re my little harbinger
And things are gonna change for me…
