Kurt Nilsen lyrics - Day Off

album: Part Of Me (2004)
genre:

I see the morning sun from my window 
not a cloud for a mile or two 
wearing out my slippers when i walk 
but that's what i'm suppose to do 

what is the purpose, what am i doing here 
when i ought to be at work 
going round and round in circles all day 
cuz i can't stop thinkin about what hurts 

look ahead 
is this what i wanna do for the rest of my life 
well that's not right 
look ahead 
does it mean that i'm afraid to give it a try 
yea just a try, i.. 

i'm taking a sick leave 
i gotta make the call 
just let him know that this is too hard 
i can't figure out what i'm gonna say 
cuz telling him lies would be bad anyway 

a little scared as i dial the phone 
saying that the fever has got to my bones 
i'm sweatin like a pig when you return my call 
"now get well soon, and take the day off" 

look ahead 
is this what i wanna do for the rest of my life 
well that's not right 
look ahead 
does it mean that i'm afraid to give it a try 
yea just a try, i.. 

keepin' a straight face 
trying to seem real 
enjoying myself, well here's the deal 
i'm never ever going back there again, no no 
no way at all 

i'm never ever goin' back there again 
i gotta be honest with myself 
yea i gotta be honest with myself... 

look ahead 
is this what i wanna do for the rest of my life 
well that's not right 
look ahead 
does it mean that i'm afraid to give it a try 
yea just a try, i.. 

look ahead 
is this what i wanna do for the rest of my life 
well that's not right 
look ahead 
does it mean that i'm afraid to give it a try 
yea just a try, i..
