A Postcard to Nina |
| Nina, I can be your boyfriend |
| So you can stay with your girlfriend |
| Your father is a sweet old man |
| But it’s hard for him to understand |
| That you want to love a woman |
| Nina, I can be your boyfriend |
| If it puts an end to all this nonsense |
| First time I see you in Berlin |
| And you don’t tell me anything |
| Until outside your dad’s apartment |
| Oh, god, Jesus Christ |
| I try to focus on your eyes |
| Having dinner with your family now |
| Keep a steady look at your left eyebrow |
| If it’s raised, it means yes |
| If it’s not, it means take a guess |
| Hey! |
| You! |
| Stop kicking my legs |
| I’m doing my best, can you pass the figs? |
| Your father puts on my record |
| He says, «So tell me how you met her?» |
| Uh, I get a little nervous and change the subject |
| I put my hand on some metal object |
| He jokes and tells me it’s a lie detector |
| He takes out the booklet and starts reading |
| «So I heard you’re moving out next season» |
| I say, «Yeah, New York is nice that time of year |
| Almost as green as it is here |
| He says: «I thought you were moving to Sweden?» |
| Oh, god, what have I done? |
| I came to Berlin to have some fun |
| And the clock on the wall strikes four, five, six |
| My eyes caught by a big crucifix |
| Guess that’s why he won’t let you go |
| His Catholic heart is big and slow |
| You know I’ll do anything for love |
| But Nina, what were you thinking of? |
| But Nina, I can be your boyfriend |
| So you can stay with your girlfriend |
| Your father’s mailing me all the time |
| He says he just wants to say hi |
| I send back «out of office» auto-replies |
| Nina, I just want to check in |
| Cause I think about you every second |
| So I send you this postcard just to say |
| Don’t let anyone stand in your way |
| Yours truly, Jens Lekman |
| Don’t let anyone stand in your way |
| Don’t let anyone stand in your way |
| Don’t let anyone stand in your way |
| Don’t let anyone stand in your way |
| Don’t let anyone stand in your way |
