Despite the Night - Sondre Lerche

I never came on strong

But then she came to me in a song

Her semblance would not soon dissolve

So misplaced in oblivion

I never sought her out

But then we crashed on my paper route

She placed her head upon my lap

And murmured, «it's your birthday»

Somebody else already found me

Somebody else, despite the night

Somebody else already found me out

She never came on strong

But then she came on to me with songs

Possessed me every single night

Her face, vivacious poetry

Her prose, an ocean of sore beauty

Somebody else already found me

Somebody else, despite the night

Somebody else already found me

Somebody else, beyond denial

Somebody else already found me out there, mid-air

Relay at the vanishing point

Despite the night, I don’t wanna go home

Somebody else already found me

Somebody else, despite the night

Somebody else already found me

Somebody else, beyond denial

Somebody else already found me, love

Relay at the vanishing point

Despite the night, I don’t wanna go home
