This is a love song. No getting around it. "Elsker" means "loving" in Norwegian.
lyrics
Love- I don’t need to show it off.
I don’t need to throw a party where I
Kiss you in front of your ex,
And, make a mess of everything.
I just want you to know
That I’m happy to be here.
Love- I don’t need to build it up.
I don’t need to make it tough to withstand
Every jolt and jab-
I’m not those gals you’ve had,
This all just floats along.
Yes, we finally are here.
Finally the words are spoken,
And, you know you’ve chosen,
And, you know your choice is right.
And, I love you more than,
No, I love you more than,
No, I love you more than anything.
Love- I don’t need to make it up.
I don’t need to write a book about
The things that we said and did-
It’s ours for us to live,
We’ll keep it in our minds.
Yes, we finally are here.
Finally the words are spoken,
And, you know you’ve chosen,
And, you know your choice is right.
And, I love you more than,
No, I love you more than,
No, I love you more than anything.
We finally are here.
We finally are here.
