Jumper - The lyrics

1. Tapetklister (Wallpaper paste)
----------------------------------

If you want to become my friend, I want to become yours
I think our ways can be adapted
It's not much I ask for
You may be yourself I promise and I swear

We can live together, we can live apart
We can meet always or here and there
And you may phone me anytime you want to
If you want me to come, just tell me

Wallpaper paste under my shoes
You're so much more beautiful than you think
I dare not
I dare not

I know where you are, I can phone you
But I don't feel sure of myself
You maybe have someone else, how should I know
But hopefully it'll be my turn some day

Wallpaper paste under my shoes
You're so much more beautiful than you think
I dare not
I dare not

If you want to become my friend, I want to become yours
I think our ways can be adapted
It's not much I ask for
You may be yourself I promise and I swear

Wallpaper paste under my shoes
You're so much more beautiful than you think
I dare not
I dare not

Wallpaper paste under my shoes
You're so much more beautiful than you think
I dare not
I dare...



2. Den vägen (That road)
-------------------------

Imagine to be in haven, that I've eventually got there
Imagine when I have arrived, after a long and stormy time
To be able to call oneself a man, to dare to love the person by one's side
To be proud of one's name, and be able to offer one's time
I want to dare to love, I want to dare to be he
Who dares to let himself be loved, who has reached haven

That road I'm going on is crooked and bent
It occurs that I stop sometimes
But I manage to find my way
That road I've landed up on is narrow and dusty
But if I steer my car carefully
I'll probably arrive

Most of the things I've done are things that don't stay
And such things I've done were maybe never specially good
And there are things I've captured, that I don't have today
But I can't regret, I'll never go back

That road I'm going on is crooked and bent
It occurs that I stop sometimes
But I manage to find my way
That road I've landed up on is narrow and dusty
But if I steer my car carefully
I'll probably arrive
I'll probably arrive
I will arrive

That road I'm going on is crooked and bent
It occurs that I stop sometimes
But I manage to find my way
That road I've landed up on is narrow and dusty
But if I steer my car carefully
I'll probably arrive
I'll probably arrive
I'll probably arrive
I'll probably arrive



3. I vårt kvarter (In our block)
---------------------------------

You are so beautiful when you wake up
When you walk to the window and smile to me
And I try to hide
You are so wonderful when you stand there bare making breakfast
I'm sitting here looking at you
You turn around and laugh at me

We have something going on, you and me
We have something going on, you and me

We live in houses straight across the street
Our windows, our eyes are looking at each other
This is how it is where we live sometimes
In our block

I have learnt to adjust to your times, routines, curtains
I think I have seen all sides
It feels like as if we already are a couple, you and me
And certainly it'll be we some day

We have something going on, you and me
We have something going on, you and me

We live in houses straight across the street
Our windows, our eyes are looking at each other
This is how it is where we live sometimes
In our block

We live in houses straight across the street
Our windows, our eyes are looking at each other
This is how it is where we live sometimes
In our block
In our block



4. När hela världen står utanför (When the whole world is outside)
-------------------------------------------------------------------

Okay, maybe I'm not as one, as one, should be
And maybe I'm not the one you preferably want
But I'm probably a little, such a person that you like sometimes
And I admit that I can think like that sometimes

When the whole world is outside
Who shall I play then?
Will you understand?
When the whole world is outside
Who am I to you then?
Will you understand?

I think that some day I'll be able to go to, to you, to your country
And if you want to we can stay indoors all day
Only we two, we can pretend that I'm your husband
And things that we'd do then

When the whole world is outside
Who shall I play then?
Will you understand?
When the whole world is outside
Who am I to you then?
Will you understand? ...what I say then?

Who shall I play?
Who shall I pretend that I am?
What shall I say?
And what will you think of the person I am?

Who shall I play?
Who shall I pretend that I am?
What shall I say?
And what will you think of the person I am?

When the whole world is outside
Who shall I play then?
Will you understand?
When the whole world is outside
Who am I to you then?
Will you understand? ...what I say then?



5. Något som hon saknar (Something that she's missing)
-------------------------------------------------------

She has a home that's like a doll's house world
One says she's well off
She has a bed that's like a trip on the moonlight
Exactly such a bed one wants

But why is she crying?
But why is she crying?

There's something that she's had, but she's missing
It was something that she was, but was so short
It was someone she had created
That came one day, but went away

She has a style that is a little unmodern
That she clothes to something wonderful
She has someone with her who she holds dear
Who gives everything she can take

But why is she crying?
But why is she crying?

There's something that she's had, but she's missing
It was something that she was, but was so short
It was someone she had created
That came one day, but went away

But why is she crying?
But why is she crying?

There's something that she's had, but she's missing
It was something that she was, but was so short
It was someone she had created
That came one day, but went away
Went away...
Went away...



6. På andra sidan molnen (On the other side of the clouds)
-----------------------------------------------------------

There's a town that I don't know anymore
There in a country where I don't live
There's a house, to which I don't have a key
There in a bed where I don't dream anymore

And now I'm on the other side of the world
And now I see the clouds from above

There's so much I don't know anything about
There's so much I don't know anything about
But I think I know who I am

I have a home where only I live
It's quite cramped, but it's enough for me
I sit awake until the traffic has ceased
Writing letters to my wastebasket

And now I'm on the other side of the world
And now I see the clouds from above

There's so much I don't know anything about
There's so much I don't know anything about
There's so much I don't know anything about
There's so much I don't know anything about
But I think I know who I am



7. Kom som en man (Came as a man)
----------------------------------

A small town, I've landed up in
A company, that only happened to become
A small town, so much time
And I lived someone else's life

Came as a man, went as a child
Played like a cat without yarn
Came as a proud, went as a scared
And continued totally misled

A big town, I've landed up in
And I live my own life

Came as a man, went as a child
Played like a cat without yarn
Came as a proud, went as a scared
And continued totally misled

Came as a man, went as a child
Played like a cat without yarn
Came as a proud, went as a scared
And continued totally misled

Came as a man, went as a child
Played like a cat without yarn
Came as a proud, went as a scared
And continued totally misled

Came as a man, went as a child
Played like a cat without yarn
Came as a proud, went as a scared
And continued totally misled



8. Tror att du vet (Think that you know)
-----------------------------------------

I've never walked on a tightrope, but that's okay
I've never learnt to fly, that's okay
I've never been brave, that's okay
But I never let you know, what I think of you

There are so many things I should have said
There are so many things I should have done
There are so many things I never should have said

I think that you know
I think that you know
I think that you know
What I'm thinking of you, thinking of you

I think that you know
I think that you know
I think that you know
What I'm thinking of you, thinking of you

I've never been in space, that's okay
But I never told you, that I like you

There are so many things I should have said
There are so many things I should have done
There are so many things I never should have said

I think that you know
I think that you know
I think that you know
What I'm thinking of you, thinking of you

I think that you know
I think that you know
I think that you know
What I'm thinking of you, thinking of you



9. Vägskäl (Crossroads)
------------------------

Some people look towards north on their map
And some people want to be there, where everything happens
Some people toss coins and some people hate
To have to be masters over their time

Shall one be prepared for the train to move off
Or shall one wait for
Something to show which way to go
Or is it possibly so that, possibly so that
That the time has come right now
That the time has come right now

That the chance can be quite dramatic
We have learnt by now
As well as that our own choices not always
Open the door we had thought

Shall one be prepared for the train to move off
Or shall one wait for
Something to show which way to go
Or is it possibly so that, possibly so that
That the time has come right now
That the time has come right now
That the time has come right now
That the time has come right now

Shall one be prepared for the train to move off
Or shall one wait for
Something to show which way to go
Or is it possibly so that, possibly so that
That the time has come right now
That the time has come right now
That the time has come right now



10. Jag undrar (I wonder)
--------------------------

The ground you stand on is where I want to
Stay and be shaped to the man you desire and are desired by
There I want to be led to my real me

There we can take and give, and share
There we can be helped to understand our hard days
There we can share everything we have

And you, I wonder what you're thinking of, and who, right now
And I wonder if you ever can think of me as your man

How shall I say, how will you take the very heaviest words I have
Will you go through agonies over what I bear
Will you love the person I am

And you, I wonder what you're thinking of, and who, right now
And I wonder if you ever can think of me as your man

And you, I wonder what you're thinking of, and who, right now
And I wonder if you ever can think of me as your man

And you, I wonder what you're thinking of, and who, right now
And I wonder if you ever can think of me as your man

And you, I wonder what you're thinking of, and who, right now
And I wonder if you ever can think of me as your man
