"Something's Missing" lyrics

So
So
So you'll call?
As soon as I get back
And then she left
And then I was alone

Back to the way that things were
Back to the simple and plain
For five days the weather had been so nice
But as they boarded, it started to rain

At the end of the day, after everyone left
We all tried to go back to normal, except
The town was more quiet and somehow far emptier
We all looked the same but we're different than we were

The gym was a sight as I stacked the last cot
Thank you's written everywhere and things they forgot
The board of health says, clean it up, every part
So we start

7:42 AM, Sunday, September 16th
After five days, they just ran the zamboni over the ice
And played hockey

With the plane people gone, Gander Town Council
Declares the state of emergency over and I head home
We were all exhausted, just spent
Most of us had been up for five days straight working
But somehow I can't sleep, so I sit down and turn on the television
And I just start crying
I hadn't let myself cry the whole time

Something's gone

Out the airplane window, I can see Manhattan
And there's still smoke
And suddenly I'm afraid all over again
And there are other afraid too

Something's over

I know Newark airport
You could pull a truck over on the side of the turnpike
And shoot a grenade launcher at a plane coming in

Something's done

But nothing happens

I drive Kevin back to his place
We don't say much

Something's missing

I go straight to his firehouse
Part of me wondered if they just weren't telling me
But, they still don't know

Something's changed

My flat is the same as I left it
But emptier
Quieter
I start to unpack
And I find the camera

Something's rearranged

On the way to my restaurant
I drop my daughter at school
But she won't go in
She says she's scared
What do I tell her?

Something's strained

Back at my dad's house
I look out the window
At this view I've looked at my whole life
And now a part of it
Something's missing

Something's missing

Kevin breaks up with me
And then he quits and moves back home to New York
And I miss him
I miss his jokes

Something's lost

Nick and I call each other when we can
But, it's awful
The only reason we met was because this terrible thing happened

Something's cost

I go down to Ground Zero
Which is like the end of the world
It's literally still burning

Something's not

My dad asks, were you okay, were you were stranded?
How do I tell him that I wasn't just okay
I was so much better

Something's missing

I phone American and say, I'm ready to go
Wherever you want to send me
But they say, take a few days off
I phone every day and I am back at the airport by Thursday
And it's empty
Silent
It's just, a different place
And I stop what few passenger there are and I say
Thank you for still flying

Hello, you've reached Gander Academy
This is Beulah Davis, how can I help you?

He's gone
It's over

Oh no, I'm so sorry, Hannah
I'm so sorry

You are here
At the end of a moment
At the end of the world
You are here
On the edge of the ocean
Where the story ends
Where the river meets the sea

Something's gone
Something's over
At the office
In an airport
In my house
On an island
Something's changed
In a classroom
At the station
In my car

And wherever you are
Something's gone
You are here
