Lyrics: Asger Techau
Music: Asger Techau
Close your eyes
and stay with me
squeeze my hand until it’s ivory
it is only pain
I can take it
if I know what it’s for
just give me more
The city looks beautiful from up here
makes you feel so small
you could just disappear
marshmallows and rainbows
a giant bowl of candy you could leap right into
I hope you never do
everybody is always trying to be
somebody else for somebody else
well It is so damn hard to keep
your colors from shining through
and all you ever do is punish yourself
If you show and tell for somebody else
and by now it seems
you have got punishment
down to an art
Tell me about to place where you grew up
about the rolling hills or the mountaintops
breathe in deeply
feeling light as a feather
maybe you could go back
if this place makes you so sad
Paint me the fields in the afternoons
you and your friends counting hot air ballons
weightless and carefree
in a world so tiny
only skies of bright blue
wish I was there too
everybody is always trying to be
somebody else for somebody else
well It is so damn hard to keep
your colors from shining through
and all you ever do is punish yourself
If you show and tell for somebody else
and by now it seems
you have got punishment
down to an art
Whatever it is that has got you so down
swept away your heart and confidence
nothing is worth this
come down with me and let’s go out somewhere
I promise you I will be there
