lyrics

When I first arrived twelve years ago I wanted to be free.
Free from my family and the bonds that was built when I was a kid.
You rarely called and it didn’t bother me much.
I kept myself busy and I guess we did loose touch.
The first thing I saw in the city was the globe.
My jaw dropped, I was later told.
As I stepped out on the streets, up from metro.
And that’s why today I do miss you so.

We got drunk on a weekday, just to feel what it’s like to be an adult.
Left my laptop in the bar, as I stumbled home quite sauced.
The next day my blood froze to ice.
Started calling all my friends for advice.
I got hold of it later, don’t even ask me how.
It’s just a stupid story that I wish I could tell you now.
All the feelings I have they only seem to grow.
That’s why today I do miss you so.

Got a bit annoyed that no one visited after a while out here.
Was it really so damn hard, to make plans? I Had been here more than a year.
But I guess in a way I never really reached out.
I can understand now that you were filledf doubt.
You were comfortable at home on your vacation.
All these years later I still seek salvation.
It’s lovely weather outside, I can feel the wind blow.
That’s why I do miss you so.

Ships pass by my windows view and I wish you could come see me.
Point at all the tax-free junkies, on boats far our to sea.
Just to hear your voice once more would make my day.
Give me five minutes, I know just what I’d say.
It plagues me still, though the words don’t mean a thing.
Under ground its silent you can’t hear what I sing.
Like Phil Elverum I also saw a crow
That’s why today I do miss you so
