She looks scared, she stares kind of sad

@annaoomph,
There are websites which carry the lyrics to almost all songs. A to Z lyrics is one such. This link takes you to the lyrics for Sunday Painter by The Temper Trap:

@Blickers,
Thanks, but at all websites this line is also partly missing. So probably if you know english well enough, you can help me out Smile

I am a native speaker (British). I have listened to that track on Youtube a number of times and that line starts "Now I feel her" and is muffled and unclear after that. All of the lyrics sites I have visited show that line as "Now I feel her ---?". The singer, possibly deliberately, is voicing the words in a very sloppy style, the ends of words seem to be 'bitten off', like his teeth don't fit properly in his mouth. They are Australian. It sounds a bit like "Now I feel her word session", which doesn't make much sense but then song lyrics don't have to make sense. If you were doing karaoke you could use those words, because I don't think anybody will challenge them!

@Blickers,
I'll probably have to listen on headphones, which I don't have access to right at the moment.

However, seeing the other lyrics and being able to make out the last couple of syllables of the word, my guess is "ascension". Or Ascension, if the songwriter's intent was to make her a Christlike figure, (I'll let the readers decide that). As in:

Now I feel her ascension
For a minute I was in her heaven

I'll listen again on headphones to see if I can hear anything else, but that is what I'm going with now.

@Blickers,
I was thinking of something like "..her world's...", yes, probably ascension, sounds very close to it

@contrex,
Pretty strange, but ascension is very close. Or something with "words" and "sharp" Smile

Correct. As I understand it, the singer saw this woman painting and was taking her in, and as he paid attention to what she was doing he picked up a vibe that she was spiritually in a wonderful and divine place.

That's what I got out of it, anyway.
