Words

Verse 1

Solveig, there is a boy out on the balcony rehearsing
He has asked me nine times if the song is loud enough
He wrote the middle part himself and made me put it in
He has been holding the same box since the second week of June
I am only the producer, I am only here to press play
But he wanted you to hear it in his words and not in mine

Chorus

So before the sparklers go out, before the ash goes grey
There is somebody behind you with a question and no plan
He is shaking, he is certain, he has practised what to say
Turn around, Solveig — take the box out of his hand

Verse 2

He told me about the market and the coat you never bought
He told me about the hospital, the hallway and the chair
He told me eleven stories and I only used the small ones
Because he says the small ones are the ones that make it true
He is not a talker, you know that better than us all
So he made a boy with a laptop write it on the wall

Chorus

So before the sparklers go out, before the ash goes grey
There is somebody behind you with a question and no plan
He is shaking, he is certain, he has practised what to say
Turn around, Solveig — take the box out of his hand

Bridge

The neighbours have gone quiet, which is somehow so much worse
Everyone is looking at the two of you and no one breathes
Whatever you decide, we love you, and there's cake

Final Chorus

So before the sparklers go out, before the ash goes grey
There is somebody behind you with a question and one word
He is shaking, he is certain, he has practised what to say
Turn around, Solveig — he is asking, go on, turn

Outro

That is my part done, I'm going to the kitchen, I'm no good at this
Before the sparklers go out, Solveig — the rest of it is yours
