Kurt Nilsen – Day Off

Verse 1

I see the morning sun from my window

Not a cloud for a mile or two

Wearing out my slippers when I walk

But that’s what I’m supposed to do

What is the purpose, what am I doing here

When I ought to be at work

I’m going round and round in circles all day

Because I’m thinking about where it hurts

Chorus

Look ahead, is this what I want to do for the rest of my life

Well that’s not right

Look ahead, does it mean that I’m afraid to give it a try

Yeah just a try

Verse 2

I’m taking a sick leave I got to make the call,

Just let him know that this is too hard

I can’t figure out what I’m gonna say

Because telling my lies will end up bad anyway

A little scared as I dial the phone

Saying that the fever has got to my bone

I’m sweating like a pig when you return my call

Now get well soon and take the day off

Chorus

Look ahead, is this what I want to do for the rest of my life

Well that’s not right

Look ahead, does it mean that I’m afraid to give it a try

Yeah just a try

Day off, day off

Day off, day off

Verse 3

Keeping a straight face trying to seem real

Enjoying myself, well here’s the deal

I’m never ever going back there again

No, no Mmm, Mmm, no way at all

I’m never ever going back there again

I got to be honest with myself, yeah

I got to be honest with myself

Chorus

Look ahead, is this what I want to do for the rest of my life

Well that’s not right

Look ahead, does it mean that I’m afraid to give it a try

Yeah just a try

Look ahead, is this what I want to do for the rest of my life

that’s not right

Look ahead, does it mean that I’m afraid to give it a try

Yeah just a try
