Objects Of My Affection - Peter Bjorn & John

I remember when, when I first moved here

A long time ago

'Cause I’d heard some song I used to hear back then

A long time ago

I remember when, even further back

In another town

'Cause I saw something written I used to say back then

Hard to comprehend

And the question is, was I more alive then than I am now?

I happily have to disagree

I laugh more often now, I cry more often now

I am more me But of course some days I just lie around

And hardly exist

And can’t tell apart what I’m eating

From my hand or my wrist

'Cause flesh is flesh, flesh as flesh as flesh

The difference is thin

But life has a certain ability of breathing new life into me So I breathe it in It says here we are and we all are here

And you still can make sense

If you just show up and present an honest face

Instead of that grin

And the question is, was I more alive then than I am now?

I happily have to disagree

I laugh more often now, I cry more often now

I am more me And the other day, this new friend of mine

Said something to me

«Just because something starts differently

Doesn’t mean it’s worth less»

And I soaked it in, how I soaked it in How I soaked it in And just as to prove how right he was

Then you came

So I’m gonna give, yes I’m gonna give

I’m gonna give you a try

So I’m gonna give, yes I’m gonna give

I’m gonna give you a try

And the question is, was I more alive then than I am now?

I happily have to disagree

I laugh more often now, I cry more often now

I am more me
