Kurt Nilsen - Day Off lyrics

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 supposed to do

What is the purpose

What am I doing here

When I ought to be at work

I'm going round and round in circles all day

Can't stop thinking about where it 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

Yeah just a try

I'm taking a sick leave

Forgot to make the call

Just let them know that this is too hard

I can't figure out what I'm gonna say

Cause telling them a lie when I'm in bed anyway

A little scared as I dial the phone

Saying that the fever has got into my bone

I'm sweating like a pig when you return my call

Now get well soon, 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 I'm afraid to give it a try

Yeah just a try

(day off, day off...)

Keeping a straight face, trying to seem real

Enjoying myself, well here's the deal

I'm never ever going back there again

No no, m-mm, no way at all

I'm never ever going back there again

I gotta be honest with myself

Yeah, 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 I'm afraid to give it a try

Yeah just a try
