Words & Music by Brooke Lunderville, 2007.
I don't know if this is unique to sci-fi/fantasy readers, but have you ever gotten to the end of a really good book and felt a huge sense of loss? I've spent a lot of time staring at the endpages of favourite books, closing my eyes and imagining freak warp incidents that transported me to the universe I was just in. It's like a bubble bursting sometimes.
lyrics
I finished your book and
I'm back in the real world
and feeling unshakably blue
The writing was great
and the ending was fitting
I've got no complaints except one:
it's over
I just want to read it again for the first time
fall in love with the hero again
be charmed by your magic, surprised by your villains
and discover the place where I'm home
I stare at that last page and
close my eyes briefly and
try to transport myself there
I flip the page over
there's an ad from your publisher
but no magic door
to that land
I just want to read it again for the first time
fall in love with the hero again
be charmed by your magic, surprised by your villains
and discover the place where I'm home
I close the book gently
put it back on the shelf
the second time's never the same
There's only one cure for
that feeling of loss
start a new book and
keep looking
I just want to read it again for the first time
fall in love with the hero again
be charmed by your magic, surprised by your villains
and discover the place where I'm home
I just want to read it again for the first time
fall in love with the hero again
be charmed by your magic, surprised by your villains
and discover the place where I'm home
where I'm home
