Vienna Teng - Eric's Song Lyrics






Strange how you know inside me
I measure the time and I stand amazed
Strange how I know inside you
My hand is outstretched toward the damp of the haze

And of course I forgive
I've seen how you live
Like a phoenix you rise from the ashes
You pick up the pieces
And the ghosts in the attic
They never quite leave
And of course I forgive
You've seen how I live
I've got darkness and fears to appease
My voices and analogies
Ambitions like ribbons
Worn bright on my sleeve

Strange how we know each other

Strange how I fit into you
There's a distance erased with the greatest of ease
Strange how you fit into me
A gentle warmth filling the deepest of needs

And with each passing day
The stories we say
Draw us tighter into our addiction
Confirm our conviction
That some kind of miracle
Passed on our heads
And how I am sure
Like never before
Of my reasons for defying reason
Embracing the seasons
We dance through the colors
Both followed and led

Strange how we fit each other

Strange how certain the journey
Time unfolds the petals
For our eyes to see
Strange how this journey's hurting
In ways we accept as part of fate's decree

So we just hold on fast
Acknowledge the past
As lessons exquisitely crafted
Painstakingly drafted
To carve us as instruments
That play the music of life
For we don't realize
Our faith in the prize
Unless it's been somehow elusive
How swiftly we choose it
The sacred simplicity
Of you at my side

  35. S.... B....

    Look up Grey Eye Glances,Eventide the whole album is awesome

  36. R.... ....

    I don't normally leave random personal comments on youtube but I just want to thank the person who posted this. It is a song that encapsulates so much of a very significant friendship of mine for the last ...several years. It always makes me cry to listen to it, thinking of all the ups and downs and times when it seemed like things wouldn't work out. But we're still here, and she's halfway across the world, but we're still friends... I'm so grateful.

  37. J.... ....

    haha, I have a few songs like that for me, True love by Pink is one, and a few songs by Daughter. I don't think you should be embarrassed, not with so many of us doing it! *winks* love this song though, its so calming and simple.

  38. C.... B....

    The friendship is still very strong. ^^ Life may split us apart by distance but we keep in touch by digital means.

  39. C.... G....

    Gone yet?

  40. M.... ....

    It also reminds me of my favorite pairing :D

  41. m.... ....

    Antebellum less so for mine, but I think I see what you mean.

  42. m.... ....

    I've never been in a relationship that reminded me of this song (or vice versa), but it always makes me think of my favorite fan pairing, and this one fanfiction I read...Those two could be the lone survivors of an apocolypse, a bustling city, or a tiny village, and they'd still be just...perfect. They've been through so much, but they always find ways to work through... *happy sigh* I hope I'm not alone in this response, but I refuse to be embarrassed if I am.

  43. C.... B....

    My boyfriend too :)

  44. C.... B....

    Hahaha...neither of us mind being in the friend-zone...in fact, we love it. ^^
    ...
    Woah, my comment is two years old...well...we're still friends, lol, and this song still reminds me of him!

  45. I.... R....

    Vienna wrote this when she found her love, she wrote this love song with out using the word 'love' in it.

  46. r.... v....

    @KagomenInuyash14 haha ikr!

  47. r.... v....

    the creapy thing is... I DEDICATE THIS SONG TO MY FRIEND ERIC ROBINSON!!!

  48. I.... D....

    @KagomenInuyash14 so did i...

  49. n.... ....

    beautiful music, beautiful lyrics.

  50. J.... y....

    @TurbineDesign EMULE

  51. L.... D....

    I can't find this song on iTunes. Where can I purchase it?

  52. 2.... ....

    Saw and heard Vienna this evening in "Kulturzelt", Kassel/Germany - it was a wonderful experience, what true music can be !

  53. V.... V....

    I can't even listen to this song because of Carmen & Katie. So beautiful:')

  54. A.... ....

    one of best love songs. with all this music talking about love as just about sex and about its all perfect, but none of its the truth.
    Love and relationships are complex if not more than the greatest symphony ever. we have happy times where we think eveythign is alright and can't stop smiling, but then there are the times were we can't stand other and we cry out our hearts. but through the good and the bad, its what makes life worth living... all the same <3

  55. P.... ....

    Such beautiful lyrics.

  56. d.... ....

    all of her songs are so deep, pure, and beautiful. she has a way of making her songs so real and amazing. i love her music and her voice so much.

  57. S.... ....

    I remember discovering Vienna Teng when I was 16-17 while listening to her being played in a music store. Loved her ever since.

  58. K.... ....

    After listening to her songs, I never want to listen to any song of britney spears or those shit again!

  59. d.... ....

    @freakageek I agree with you, so pure!

  60. S.... ....

    HER VOICE IS SO BEAUTIFUL!!!!!

  61. t.... ....

    eric z. du bist der beste freund denn man sich nur wünschen kann !
    ich liebe dich mein honigbärchen , mein freund und bruder !
    ich stehe immer zu dir mein grosser !
    HABE DICH ÜBERALLES LIEB!!!!!!
    lg. dein tomi!!

  62. J.... ....

    Now THIS is beautiful music.

  63. a.... ....

    @gaaraandkankuroluver oh they've just pushed the wrong button :D

  64. B.... ....

    Whoever shuns this song to listen to the crap this world thinks is so good now-a-days, has forgotten the meaning of life and the true feelings that a song like this can express.

  65. S.... ....

    @SiCLycan I'm sad to say I'm part of the generation with sex, drugs, cigarettes, and booze being cool. It's not. Sex is for marriage, drugs are illegal, cigarettes are cancersticks, and booze can tear a family apart. I'm glad this song isn't about that, either. Vienna's music is... Indescribable.

  66. N.... ....

    @gaaraandkankuroluver people who obviously weren't wearing their glasses and missed the like button :D that's the only thing I can think of lol

  67. x.... ....

    How I love this song... It's so powerful in its simplicity, and gentle and beautiful at the same time.

  68. K.... ....

    every time i listen to any song by Vienna Teng i cant help relax!! her work is beautiful 5* ^_^

  69. m.... ....

    They can, if it has meaning in it. Poets do write work that is sexually explicit, if you want to call it that. Vienna herself wrote "Recessional", which implies in the beginning that they are about to have sex. However, if you listen to much of the pop music out there... well, i'm not going into that. Let's just say I don't believe "I wanna sex you up" and all that crap is true artwork.

  70. m.... ....

    I simply love this song. The lyrics in the choruses are so beautiful written.

    <3
    (And I use it as my personal lullaby ^.^)

  71. C.... B....

    For some weird reason, this song always reminds me of one of my guy friends. I never knew I would find a such a true friend in him. No mushy-gushy feelings, but just, plain, true friendship. It's a friendship I pray I will never lose.

  72. A.... ....

    Only spelled with a K. Other wise, Yay Phantom!

  73. h.... ....

    pardon me if i offend you (and i like this song as well) but why can't true artists and poets make work that is sexually explicit?

  74. M.... Y....

    She has a unique voice.Which makes it very great in a song

  75. S.... ....

    Omg I totally thought of that when I first heard it!! It's a great song for him. :)

  76. l.... ....

    This reminds me of the Phantom of the Opera. His name is Eric.

  77. A.... ....

    I know this is odd, but this song reminds me of my brother who died as a baby. His name was Eric.

  78. J.... L....

    Erik and Sookie or what!

  79. I.... H....

    Beautiful

  80. C.... E....

    i think its amazing how... she wrote this song about the first time she fell in love ... but she made sure she didn't use the word love. her voice.. its just soo perfect..

  81. S.... K....

    :] i went to one of her concerts around 6 years ago. i'm so happy that she's still coming out with her music, sharing that whispy & rapturing voice with the world.

  82. a.... k....

    i really like her voice. its so angelic-like.
    she voice almost reminds me of clannad's.
    i could seriously sleep to this type of music.
    thanks for uploading, Rin! ^-^
