Sondre Lerche - Guarantee That I'd Be Loved (Live with KORK) (Ft. Kringkastingsorkesteret)

[Verse 1]
He once was friend of mine
Who needed me all the time
How far would I be willing to go
To pull him back from the edge
To try to put him at ease
Or talk him off the ledge
I had to keep him alive
I did whatever he pleased
So maybe that would guarantee that I'd be loved

[Verse 2]
We both fell in love on stage
Still teens, no longer underage
How far would I be willing to go
To feel the warmth of her bed
To feel a part of her home
When she was trying to bloom
I only felt in thе way
Our kind of sweetness was doomed
But had I stayed I would bе guaranteed good love

[Verse 3]
She seemed inapproachable
So proud, so inconsolable
How far would I be willing to go
To bring our creation to life
To live up to our dreams
And cut myself down to size
We came apart at the seams
But I would never dare say
I thought it guaranteed that I could not be saved
[Verse 4]
I longed for her long before
Our paths crossed an open door
How far would I be willing to go
To not be weighed down by love
One day I just couldn't tell
Her heartbeats from my own
And I thought to myself
I've gone and done it again
She was the greatest love that I had ever known

[Verse 5]
Turns out it wasn't enough
I longed to live in a dream
Of everything I could be
And she still echoed a world
I thought I wanted to flee
And though she always guaranteed that I'd be loved
I let it all go
I turned it all down
There was nothing to discuss
Although I took all her time
Trying to give up on us
Give up the greatest guarantee that I'd be loved
