Lyrics and translation Erlend Ropstad - Før satt vi oppe helt til morgenen

Før satt vi oppe helt til morgenen

Æ kan høre en fest som dør hen
Før var det vi som aldri dro hjem
Før satt vi oppe helt til mårran
Men æ har blitt døv av all den her stillheten
Æ har slått rot æ har brutt opp igjen
Det er ting som æ har funne på
Og ting som virkelig har hendt

Var det nå æ sa
Var det det det var
Æ sto like ved
Var vi sammen da
Var det havet som slo inn mot land
Var det måneskinn
Var det soloppgang
Der du var
Der du var
Der du var
Der du var

Håber du er bra på å tilgi
Æ er bare bra på å forsvinne
Inn et sted hvor æ er heilt umulig å få tak igjen
Men æ har blitt sløv av all den her støyen
Æ får ikke puste æ får ikke tenke æ får ikke skreve ned noen ting av alt det æ har tenkt

Våkner byen opp
Te en ny dag
Vi lå i samme seng
Var du ensom da
Med livet som gikk fort mot kveld
Var æ hjemme
Men borte likevel
Der du var
Der du var
Der du var
Der du var

Var det nå æ sa
Var det det det var
Æ sto like ved
Var vi sammen da
Var det havet som slo inn mot land
Var det måneskinn
Var det soloppgang
Der du var
Der du var
Der du var
Der du var
Der du var

Before we used to stay up until the morning

I can hear a party dying down
We were the ones who never went home
Before we used to stay up until the morning
But I've gone deaf from all this silence
I've put down roots I've broken up again
There are things I've made up
And things that really happened

Was that what I said
Was that what it was
I was right next to you
Were we together then
Was it the ocean beating against the shore
Was it moonlight
Was it sunrise
Where you were
Where you were
Where you were
Where you were

I hope you're good at forgiving
I'm only good at disappearing
Tsomewhere where it's impossible for you to get hold of me
But I've gotten slow from all this noise
I can't breathe I can't think I can't write down anything of all the things I've been thinking

The city awakens
To a new day
We were lying in the same bed
Were you lonely then
With life rapidly approaching evening
Was I at home
But absent nonetheless
Where you were
Where you were
Where you were
Where you were

Was that what I said
Was that what it was
I was right next to you
Were we together then
Was it the ocean beating against the shore
Was it moonlight
Was it sunrise
Where you were
Where you were
Where you were
Where you were
Where you were
