  • I was on a train
    Heading through the veins of your heart
    You were lookin' in
    But the passenger window was dark

    Slow swim in sloe-gin, getting lost in the labyrinth
    I've been grinnin' through Easter like an ordinary creature
    Farewell, my dreaded fear
    Thank you, but I'm out of here now

    I wish I could run to your house when it gets dark out
    I wish I could run to your house when it gets dark out

    I was in a dream
    Swimmin' up the stream to your door
    Flowers in the window
    Sweater on the bed, what's your day like?
    What's your day without all your problems?

    Slow life in low tide, gettin' back to my clementine
    I've been strolling the beaches like an ordinary creature
    Farewell, my dreaded fear
    Thank you, but I'm out of here now

    I wish I could run to your house when it gets dark out
    I wish I could run to your house when it gets dark out
    I wish I could run to your house when it gets dark out
    I wish I could run to your house when it gets dark out

    I wish I could run to your house when it gets dark out
    (I've been dying to reach you like an ordinary creature)
    I wish I could run to your house when it gets dark out
    (Like an ordinary creature)
    I wish I could run to your house when it gets dark out
    (When it gets dark out) Writer/s: Arnar Rosenkranz Hilmarsson, Nanna Bryndis Hilmarsdottir, Ragnar Thorhallsson
