Mystery
MARIT_BERGMAN Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The night has passed and you're still here with me
No note beside the bed sais
"See you later honey, it's been fun"
There's no sign of hit and run
It's a mystery
It's not like I gave you no chance to leave
The vile girl that I am
You could go now baby, I would understand
It's a mystery
The mornings here it seems like you're still here with me
It's a mystery
I can't see any reasons why you've chosen me
It's a mystery, nothing but... A mystery
Oh it's a mystery
It seems my luck has turned I can't believe
The number's right and there's no answering machine
Just your voice I hear you smile
Just this once it seems like I'll be spared from light
It's a mystery
Tomorrow's here it seems like you're still here with me
It's a mystery
I can't see any reasons why you've chosen me
Oh it's a mystery, nothing but...
Oh it's a mystery
It seems my lonely days are history
It's a mystery
Tonight you will be sleeping here right next to me
Oh it's a mystery, nothing but... A mystery
