Kurt Nilsen - Day Off

Verse 1
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
Because I'm thinking about where it hurts

Chorus
Look ahead, is this what I want to 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

Verse 2
I'm taking a sick leave I got to make the call,
Just let him know that this is too hard
I can't figure out what I'm gonna say
Because telling my lies will end up bad anyway
A little scared as I dial the phone
Saying that the fever has got to my bone
I'm sweating like a pig when you return my call
Now get well soon and take the day off
Chorus
Look ahead, is this what I want to 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
Day off, day off
Day off, day off

Verse 3
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 Mmm, Mmm, no way at all
I'm never ever going back there again
I got to be honest with myself, yeah
I got to be honest with myself

Chorus
Look ahead, is this what I want to 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
Look ahead, is this what I want to do for the rest of my life
that's not right
Look ahead, does it mean that I'm afraid to give it a try
Yeah just a try
