Tone Hødnebø

SEE YOU soon, you said, see you soon

SEE YOU soon, you said, see you soon
and with the weight of my body
I mistook you for another
and like a fool
I write what anyone could have written
because similar to the way we think
we open up our hearts to people
and all the seasons
even spring is experienced differently.

SEE YOU soon, you said, see you soon

PÅ GJENSYN sa du, på gjensyn
og med kroppens tyngde
forvekslet jeg deg med en annen
og som en annen idiot
skriver jeg det alle kunne skrevet
for på samme vis som vi tenker
slipper vi flere inn i hjertet
og alle årstider
selv våren oppleves forskjellig.

SEE YOU soon, you said, see you soon

SEE YOU soon, you said, see you soon
and with the weight of my body
I mistook you for another
and like a fool
I write what anyone could have written
because similar to the way we think
we open up our hearts to people
and all the seasons
even spring is experienced differently.

SEE YOU soon, you said, see you soon

SEE YOU soon, you said, see you soon
and with the weight of my body
I mistook you for another
and like a fool
I write what anyone could have written
because similar to the way we think
we open up our hearts to people
and all the seasons
even spring is experienced differently.
