Hoisting the Flag Songtext
von Sondre Lerche

You should go where you want --
Mexico or Milan.
If you want my opinion,
I have one and a million.
All I ask is you come back in time.

Well, you know what you want
and the ticket says where to find it.
Then there′s no point in starting
and approach with some barking
May I ask you to come back in time?

I will volunteer to serve your brave attempts,
to listen while you chant,
to hold your microphone,
to serve what I resent.

You are hard on yourself.
You say no very well.
Making plans for the others --
make them shine for their lovers.
I just pray that you plan to come home


We fainted in the same position.
Floating proves to be suspicion.
Our laws don't have night vision.
Just reason free from passion

And I can never question you,
as long as you′re around.
And you're always around

I will volunteer to serve your brave attempts,
to listen while you chant,
to hold your microphone
to serve what I resent.

You make it sound so easy,
like Steely Dan, not cheesy.
And I can never question you.
You're always there to make the rules
but never there to break them.
In fact
I better write down
′hoisting the flag.′


You should go if you want to.
Leave no hopes.
Hopes don't come true.
And you call, I′ll be crawling
to forget what I'm drawing
If at all, you come back at all
If you leave, please come back in time
