Jeppe Loftager Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hey freckles, 
Jeg var ved at skrive en sang til dig om os to, 
Jeg kunne se dig i mit bakspejl, du var så god, 
På den scooter du havde væltet på i går. 
Hey freckles, 
Du susede gennem gaderne med smil på, 
Hen til den italienske vi sku' spise på, 
For du ville også prøve det som jeg fik i går.  

Den tur igennem byen hvor vi, 
Stoppede på tribunen og vi, 
Indså vi havde alt vi drømte om

Ingen har elsket mig som du har,
Måske var det det jeg var bange for,
At skuffe dig, 
Jeg elsker dig forevigt freckles, 
Og kommer hjem, når vi begge to, 
Har styr på alt det som vi kæmper med.

Hey freckles, 
Med dig sker der som altid et mirakel, 
Den strand vi fandt tilfældigt  
Plus dit selskab gjorde jeg følte mig så heldig, 
Jeg følte mig så heldig. 
Hey freckles, 
En dag løber vi i vandet sammen igen, 
Hånd i hånd hele vej ud i bugten, 
Du må aldrig miste håbet, vi skal nok nå det,

Den tur igennem byen hvor vi, Stoppede på tribunen og vi, Indså vi havde alt vi drømte om

Ingen har elsket mig som du har,
Måske var det det jeg var bange for,
At skuffe dig 
Jeg elsker dig forevigt freckles, 
Og kommer hjem, når vi begge to,
 Har styr på alt det som vi kæmper med.

Men jeg fik en hjerneblødning,
Jeg ved godt man ikke kan fortryde det,
Men i gerningsøjeblikket var jeg sindssyg.

Ingen har elsket mig som du har,
Måske var det det jeg var bange for,
At skuffe dig 
Jeg elsker dig forevigt freckles, 
Og kommer hjem, når vi begge to, 
Har styr på alt det som vi kæmper med.
 Jeg elsker dig forevigt freckles, 
Og kommer hjem, når vi begge to, 
Har styr på alt det som vi kæmper med.  
Jeg elsker dig forevigt freckles, 

Og kommer hjem, når vi begge to, 
Har styr på alt det som vi kæmper med.
