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 suppose to do

what is the purpose, what am i doing here
when i ought to be at work
going round and round in circles all day
cuz i can't stop thinkin about what 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
yea just a try, i..

i'm taking a sick leave
i gotta make the call
just let him know that this is too hard
i can't figure out what i'm gonna say
cuz telling him lies would be bad anyway

a little scared as i dial the phone
saying that the fever has got to my bones
i'm sweatin like a pig when you return my call
"now get well soon, and 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 that i'm afraid to give it a try
yea just a try, i..

keepin' a straight face
trying to seem real
enjoying myself, well here's the deal
i'm never ever going back there again, no no
no way at all

i'm never ever goin' back there again
i gotta be honest with myself
yea 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 that i'm afraid to give it a try
yea just a try, i..

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
yea just a try, i..
