If I had to break it down
I'd say it's the way you love to dance
Movin' the furniture when my back is turned
The flick of the lights and the world falls away
If I had to break it down
I'd say it's the way you love to dance
Movin' the furniture when my back is turned
The flick of the lights and the world falls away
[Chorus]
And your office job and your silver hair
But our shapes in the dark are the reason I've stayed
For all these years
[Verse 2]
I thought I was a genius, but now I'm twenty-two
And it's startin' to feel like all I know how to do is
Put on a suit and take it away
[Chorus]
With my fist full of tunes that it's painful to play
Fingernail worlds like favorite seashells
They fill up my nights and then they float away
[Verse 3]
I've got hundreds of gowns, I've got paintings in frames
And a throat that fills with panic every festival day
Dutifully fallin' apart for the Princess of Norway
[Chorus]
But you, with your tall slashes, your infinite t-shirts
I should've known when your favorite record was the same as my father's
You'd take me down
[Verse 4]
I guess I'll always be this way
Swallowed up by the words, and halfway to space
But there, by the fire, you offered your hand
And as I took it, I loved you, the boy with the plan
[Chorus]
You found me clean as a pine
The man with the axe and the look in his eyes
We've been through so many hard times
I'm writin' a love song for you, baby
Hvis jeg var nødt til at bryde det ned
Jeg vil sige, at det er den måde, du elsker at danse på
Movin 'møblerne, når min ryg er vendt
Lysets flick og verden falder væk
[Kor]
Og dit kontor job og dit sølvhår
Men vores former i mørket er grunden til, at jeg har opholdt sig
For alle disse år
[Vers 2]
Jeg troede, jeg var et geni, men nu er jeg toogtyve
Og det er startin at føle, at alt, hvad jeg ved, hvordan man gør det, er
Sæt på en jakkesæt og tag det væk
[Kor]
Med min knytnæve fuld af melodier, at det er smertefuldt at spille
Fingernail verdener som yndlingsskaller
De fylder mine nætter og så flyder de væk
[Vers 3]
Jeg har hundredvis af kjoler, jeg har malerier i rammer
Og en hals, der fylder med panik hver festivaldag
Pligtskyldigt faldet 'fra hinanden for prinsessen i norge
[Kor]
Men du, med dine høje skråstreger, dine uendelige T-shirts
Jeg burde have vidst, når din yndlingsrekord var den samme som min fars
Du ville tage mig ned
[Vers 4]
Jeg tror jeg vil altid være sådan
Sluges op af ordene og halvvejs til rummet
Men der, ved ilden, tilbød du din hånd
Og da jeg tog det, elskede jeg dig, drengen med planen
[Kor]
Du fandt mig ren som en fyr
Manden med øksen og udseendet i hans øjne
Vi har været igennem så mange hårde tider
Jeg er writin 'en kærlighedssang til dig, baby
