Choices (Live) Lyrics
Jarle Bernhoft
Lyrics
Choises, it's always what you make it
But then you and I're the same
Choices, peculiar how you throw them in my face
while you abstain
This is all about equality
I'm sure you've heard of the term somewhere
No less, you?ve made your own reality
No need to deal with me, oh
Why don?t you shout out my name?
Show my face so there?s someone to aim for
And I won?t even try to disclaim,
Though I shat on the fan
I did what I had to
Why don?t you shout out my name?
Why won?t you look me in the eye, no more
It?s just gonna be yourself looking back
at you
Choices, you say I made a bad one,
But how about yourself?
Voices, it?s a cheap independence
If you drift like a snow flake
You try to hide behind absurdities
Take a break and then walk on water
Princess, wake up and smell the coffee
Now I?ll just stay awake.
Why don?t you shout out my name?
Show my face so there?s someone to aim for
And I won?t even try to disclaim,
Though I shat on the fan
I did what I had to
Why don?t you shout out my name?
Why won?t you look me in the eye no more?
It?s just gonna be yourself looking back
at you
Over the hills
And then even further away
In this Norwegian style
Send me your bills
I will pay them with interest
And all the best, all the best, all the best
Why don?t you shout out my name?
Show my face so there?s someone to aim for
And I won?t even try to disclaim,
Though I shat on the fan
I did what I had to
Why don?t you shout out my name? (... shout my name?)
Why won?t you look me in the eye no more?
It?s just gonna be yourself looking back
at you...
