Kings Of Convenience

things seem so much better when
they're not part of your close surroundings
like words in a letter sent
amplified by the distance
possibilities and sweeter dreams
sights and sounds calling from far away
calling from far away

I didn't know you then, now did I girl?
I couldn't hear you singing softly to me
I didn't know you then, now did I girl?
I didn't see the brave girl so near me
I didn't know you then, now did I girl?
I couldn't hear you singing softly to me
singing softly to me

I wanted a mystery that couldn't be solved
I wanted a puzzle with pieces missing
I wanted a story that couldn't be told
only the fishing part of fishing

and now I find
it was you all the time
I'm in love again
it's too late now
