Lyrics: Hlynur Júní Hallgrímsson
lyrics
Equal in both parts / We did the very least / The very least that we could do / And for the most parts / We did so little / The very least that we could do / Oh, words across the water / Oh, songs across the stream / In my
attempts to leave it be / I said it didn’t matter to me / But with some distance I can see / It matters / And if you’d only leave me be / I’d say it didn’t matter to me / But now that you were asking me / It matters / Oh, words across the water / Oh, songs across the stream / Oh, words across the water / Oh, points across my screen / In my attempts to leave it be / I said it didn’t matter to me / But with some distance I can see / It matters / And if you’d only leave me be / I’d say it didn’t matter to me / But now that you were asking me / It matters//
