Sondre Lerche
Hoisting The Flag
You should go where you want
Mexico or Milan
If you want my opinion
I have one and a million
All I ask is you come back in time
Well, you know what you want
And the ticket says where to find it
Then there's no point in starting
And approach with some barking
May I ask you to come back in time?
I will volunteer to serve your brave attempts
To listen while you chant
To hold your microphone
To serve what I resent
You are hard on yourself
You say no very well
Making plans for the others
Make them shine for their lovers
I just pray that you plan to come home
We fainted in the same position
Floating proves to be suspicion
Our laws don't have night vision
Just reason free from passion
And I can never question you
As long as you're around
And you're always around
I will volunteer to serve your brave attempts
To listen while you chant
To hold your microphone
To serve what I resent
You make it sound so easy
Like Steely Dan, not cheesy
And I can never question you
You're always there to make the rules
But never there to break them
In fact
I better write down
'hoisting the flag.'
You should go if you want to
Leave no hopes
Hopes don't come true
And you call, I'll be crawling
To forget what I'm drawing
If at all, you come back at all
If you leave, please come back in time
