Power of Attorney Notarization Lofi

There is a specific kind of quiet that belongs to a title company waiting room on a weekday afternoon. The carpet has been beige for a long time. The clock on the wall shows the right time. A printer wakes up behind a partition to do one thing, then goes back to sleep. You are here to sign a document that transfers trust to another person, legally, with a stranger's seal as witness — the whole transaction takes about twenty minutes and feels much larger and much smaller than that simultaneously.

This track sits inside that feeling. The Rhodes figure repeats with the patience of someone who has been waiting longer than you have. A muted trumpet arrives when the chorus does, deliberate and unhurried, then steps back. A deadpan voice delivers the only question the moment requires: did you understand what you were signing? You say yes. You mostly meant it. The stamp comes down. Something is official now that wasn't yesterday, and that's the end of the formal part.

[Verse 1] The form is three pages She highlights where to sign There's a clock on the wall and it's two forty-nine

I've read this before or I think that I have She slides the next page over with a patient hand

The notary leans forward she doesn't say much Just: initial here, and here and date this one too

[Pre-Chorus] Bring your government ID two witnesses, a pen She notarizes everything and then it starts again

[Chorus] She asked if I understood what I was signing I said yes I said yes She pressed her seal into the paper I didn't move, I didn't guess I said yes

[Verse 2] There's a fern in the corner fluorescent, a little dim The carpet is beige it's been beige since nineteen-eighty-something

I'm granting authority to someone I trust She dates it, she stamps it it doesn't ask for much

She slides the folder closed puts the seal away Something is official now that wasn't yesterday

[Pre-Chorus] Bring your government ID two witnesses, a pen She notarizes everything and then it starts again

[Chorus] She asked if I understood what I was signing I said yes I said yes She pressed her seal into the paper I didn't move, I didn't guess I said yes

[Bridge] Power of attorney sounds bigger than it is It's a Tuesday in March and there's light through the blinds The stamp says notarized and I guess that's fine

The witness signs her name in a handwriting I'll never see again We shake hands at the door I walk out to the parking lot and sit in my car for a minute

[Outro] she asked... I said yes she asked... I said yes
