2 ummæli:

  1. Isn't she getting the lyrics wrong? Isn't it "Safe up here with you"?

    Full Lyrics:
    HYPERBALLAD
    we live on a mountain
    right at the top
    there's a beautiful view
    from the top of the mountain
    every morning I walk towards the edge
    and throw little things off
    like: car-parts, bottles and cutlery
    or whatever I find lying around

    it's become a habit
    a way
    to start the day

    I go through all this
    before you wake up
    so I can feel happier
    to be safe up here with you

    it's real early morning
    no-one is awake
    I'm back at my cliff, still throwing things off
    I listen to the sounds they make
    on their way down
    I follow with my eyes 'til they crash
    imagine what my body would sound like
    slamming against those rocks

    and when it lands
    will my eyes be closed or open?

    I go through all this
    before you wake up
    so I can feel happier
    to be safe up here with you

    SvaraEyða
