[Verse 1: Nanna Bryndís Hilmarsdóttir]
Wait, give me somethin' to say
Write it down on a paper, fold it up in a plane
And I know this was never my home
The towerin' skyscraper at the end of the road
[Pre-Chorus: Nanna Bryndís Hilmarsdóttir]
The wind was blowin' off the tower
The saddest symphony
[Chorus: Nanna & Ragnar Þórhallsson]
So I carry on, pick another song
Say my long goodbye, sing my lullaby
There is nothin' left, nothin' cynical
The road is paved with good intention
Talking Heads on my bed
I am hopin' that's how you remember me
[Verse 2: Nanna Bryndís Hilmarsdóttir]
Wait, give me somethin' to feel
Like the towerin' skyscraper, you feel so far away
My eyes, they fill the waterin' hole
One drop for the creature, one for the stone
[Pre-Chorus: Nanna Bryndís Hilmarsdóttir]
The wind was blowin' off the tower
The saddest symphony
[Chorus: Nanna & Ragnar]
So I carry on, pick another song
Say my long goodbye, sing my lullaby
There is nothin' left, nothin' cynical
The road is paved with good intention
Talking Heads on my bed
I was hopin' that's how you remember me
