Something's Missing lyrics

[DIANE]

So...

[NICK]

So...

[DIANE]

So you'll call?

[NICK]

As soon as I get back

[NICK & DIANE]

And then (s)he left

And then I was alone

[JANICE]

Back to the way that t'ings were

[OZ]

Back to the simple and plain

[DWIGHT]

For five days the weather had been so nice

[BONNIE]

But as they boarded, it started to rain

[BEULAH]

At the end of the day

After everyone left

[OZ]

We all tried to go back to normal, except...

[CLAUDE]

The town was more quiet

And somehow far emptier

[BONNIE]

We all looked the same

But we're different than we were

[BEULAH]

The gym was a sight

As I stacked the last cot

[DWIGHT]

Thank-you's written everywhere

And things they forgot

[CLAUDE]

The board of health says

Clean it up - every part

[COMPANY]

So we start

[CLAUDE]

7:42 a.m

[COMPANY]

Sunday

[CLAUDE]

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 workin'

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

[COMPANY]

Something's gone

[BOB]

Out the airplane window, I can see Manhattan

And there's still smoke

And suddenly I'm afraid all over again

And there are others afraid too

[COMPANY]

Something's over

[BOB]

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

[COMPANY]

Something's done

[BOB]

But nothing happens

[KEVIN T]

I drive Kevin back to his place

We don't say much

[COMPANY]

Something's missing

[HANNAH]

I go straight to his firehouse

Part of me wondered if they

Just weren't telling me

But... they still don't know

[COMPANY]

Something's changed

[NICK]

My flat is the same as I left it

But emptier

Quieter

I start to unpack

And I find the camera

[COMPANY]

Something's rearranged

[ALI]

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?

[COMPANY]

Something's strained

[BOB]

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

[COMPANY]

Something's missing

[KEVIN T]

Kevin breaks up with me

And then he quits and moves back home to New York

And I miss him

I miss his jokes

[COMPANY]

Something's lost

[DIANE]

Nick and I call each other when we can

But... it's awful

The only reason we met was because this terrible thing happened

[COMPANY]

Something's cost

[BOB]

I go down to Ground Zero

Which is like the end of the world

It's literally still burning

[COMPANY]

Something's not

[BOB]

My dad asks: "Were you okay where you were stranded?"

How do I tell him that I wasn't just okay

I was so much better

[COMPANY]

Something's missing

[BEVERLEY]

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 in the airport on Thursday

And it's empty, silent

It's just... a different place

And I stop what few passengers there are and I say:

"Thank you for still flyin'."

[BEULAH]

Hello

You've reached Gander Academy

This is Beulah Davis

How can I help you?

[HANNAH]

...He's gone

It's over

[BEULAH]

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

I'm so sorry

[HANNAH]

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

[BEULAH]

Where the river meets the sea

[HANNAH]

Here

[COMPANY]

Something's gone

Something's over

[NICK]

Across the Atlantic

[KEVIN T]

At the office

[BEVERLEY]

In an airport

[DIANE]

In my house

[BOB]

On an island

[COMPANY]

Something's rearranged

[BEULAH]

In a classroom

[JANICE]

At the station

[OZ]

In my car

[COMPANY]

And wherever you are

(Something's gone)

You are here
