BACK WHEN THE SUMMER FELT MORE LIKE A YEAR

(Pål Angelskår / Martin Hagfors / Roar Nilsen)

Watching you from across the street
With your forehead resting on a window pane
But you’re not looking out

Same pose every day
Are you cooling off a spinning head?
You make me want to open wide and shout:
Don´t look down!

Who are you thinking of
When you do your hair and your morning make up
Has it crossed your mind it might be me?

Lipstick for the world
You force a smile across your face
Just like you wanted someone to see

Why don´t you try me on?
Wrap me around those tiny shoulders
Holding such a heavy head

Let’s both take an elevator
Meet on the street and we won´t be strangers
We´re as young as we´ll ever get

Running on the beach with salt in your hair
Back when the summer felt more like a year
Knick-knack-paddy-whack, step on the line, you lose!

Hey, hey, ho, you could disappear
With a magic stone hidden under the stairs
Knick-knack-paddy-whack, leave any time you choose

You grew up tall you grew up smart
But nights awake made you break apart
And Knick-knack-paddy-whack never left any clues

The glass is cold the light is dim
But I sense you know what I feel within
And Knick-knack-paddy-whack plays out best in two’s
