John, Let Me Go

Sondre Lerche

Do you have enough to fill the page?
Is there something I should read?
Amplifiers broke the news today
I was whispering the details

When the world came in
I've seen it before
Wearing shimmering clothes
Is the world worth its spending
Is that world worth me defending it

How should I know
When a phone attacks with numbers I don't trust?

John, let me go!
I can't conjugate myself
If the investigation fails
I'm on my own

When the coward sits alone again
When you've spent your feathers up
Making sense is made impossible
Making you detect my aim

And when I'm answering
I've seen this before
You are changing things
In a world full of sorrow
Only fools with narrow eyes enjoy

How could I know
The calls I make have numbers
I don't trust?

John, let me go!
I can't conjugate myself
If the investigation fails
My head will roll

How should I know?
I can't conjugate myself
If the investigation fails
I'm on my own

Oh, oh, oh
John, let me go!

John, let me go!
John, let me go!
John, let me go!
John, let me go!
