The Bjorn Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Did the moment pass you by?
Are the words there out to try?
'Cause you were what I thought you thought I knew
You moved, I followed you so fast
Made me run and then I learned that taking time will make us last
She tells you how to live your life
But you're looking for something more
Don't wanna be nobody else
And you let them know that
It's not you
You're not afraid
Lines around your eyes will disappear
If you don't know where to go
If you won't leave 'til it's done
Tell me if there can't be won
I don't know where we should run
Watch and hear the noise it makes you smile
But it will leave you burned
We're all rushing in around
Let's make it work and see what we have learned
Tell me if you love someone
She taught you how to live your life
But you're looking for something more
Don't wanna be nobody else
And you let them know that
It's not you
You're not afraid
Lines around your eyes will disappear
All of this falls down
All of this falls down
Words that will fall out
Faster than you're running oh
And I heard that
Did you let them go to waste?
The words they will fall out
Faster than you're running oh
And I heard that
Did you let them?
Tell me if you love someone
Do you love them all?
She taught you how to live your life
But you're looking for something more
Don't wanna be nobody else
And you let them know that
It's not you
You're not afraid
Lines around your eyes will disappear
The beginning of the song starts with the singer questioning the listener's understanding of their presence. The lyrics imply that the listener may have missed out on something significant and that the chances may have passed. The words are "out to try," suggesting that they are testing the waters for a deeper connection.
The succeeding lines of the song seem to address the struggles of living one's life while trying to please others. The lyrics imply that someone significant may be pushing the listener in a particular direction, but that the listener is looking for something more than what's being offered. The singer encourages the listener to be true to themselves and let others see who they genuinely are. It's challenging to pretend to be someone else, and lines around the eyes will disappear when one isn't afraid to be him or herself.
The song's chorus repeats the message of the song continuously. The listener shouldn't be afraid to be themselves and should chase their dreams. The song suggests that the words someone says will flow out faster than one can run, encouraging the listener to let their words and actions reflect who they are.

If you can't see that I'm here
Do you not recognize that I am present?
Did the moment pass you by?
Did the opportunity elude you?
Are the words there out to try?
Is it an attempt to deceive with spoken words?
'Cause you were what I thought you thought I knew
You were what I presumed your opinions to be
You moved, I followed you so fast
I chased after you with such haste
Made me run and then I learned that taking time will make us last
You urged me to hurry, but I discovered that patience ensures longevity
Tell me if you love someone
If you have strong emotions for someone, inform me
She tells you how to live your life
She instructs you on how to exist
But you're looking for something more
You seek greater things
Don't wanna be nobody else
I want to be my own person
And you let them know that
You make it known to them
It's not you
That's not who I am
You're not afraid
I'm not scared
Lines around your eyes will disappear
The wrinkles by your eyes will go away
If you don't know where to go
If you're unsure of where to proceed
If you won't leave 'til it's done
If you won't depart until it's over
Tell me if there can't be won
Inform me if it cannot be achieved
I don't know where we should run
I am uncertain of where we should flee
Watch and hear the noise it makes you smile
Observe and listen to the sound that brings you joy
But it will leave you burned
However, it will ultimately harm you
We're all rushing in around
We're all hurrying to get there
Let's make it work and see what we have learned
Let's make it a success and see what lessons we've derived
All of this falls down
Everything collapses
Words that will fall out
Words that will be spoken carelessly
Faster than you're running oh
More rapidly than you're moving
And I heard that
And I overheard that
Did you let them go to waste?
Did you allow them to go to ruin?
Tell me if you love someone
If you cherish someone intensely, inform me
Do you love them all?
Do you have feelings for everyone?
She taught you how to live your life
She educated you about how to live
Don't wanna be nobody else
I don't want to be anyone other than myself
And you let them know that
And you communicate that to them
It's not you
That's not your personality
You're not afraid
You're not frightened
Lines around your eyes will disappear
The wrinkles by your eyes will go away

Every real snowboarder should listen to this knowledge being given, I’ve never spent more time listening to a podcast in my life. Legends all around, thank you B Hole 🤙🏽
@zachdixon4597
I love this podcast because I learn something every time I watch it. I had a backcountry trip planned this season I just called off because I just felt like the crew wasn’t right and hearing Bjorn’s words only confirmed what I thought and put it into new context also
@zachdixon4597
I was planning a trip up to “Loveland Pass” and could tell some of the crew was not going to be prepared and honestly to me not taking Avi safety serious so I decided to call it. Hearing Bjorn talk about Avi safety and saying sometimes it takes years to ride a certain face. Reassured me I was making the right call and not being a dick. Love you guys!!

Eero Ettala not getting an air horn is a crime
@Clarke1982
Great episode! loved it during my drive today.
@Highnoonshred
Alta neeeeeeds to let boarders in! I have Cerebral Palsy and snowboarding is how I achieved this! Skiing did not work for me so I switched. I lived in Alta and the Valley. I sooo think it is wack that a mountain I love would not let me on... I think it is time to settle this with a ADA lawsuit. Thanks Bjorn for trying so hard! Much love

Fact check-dad said someone had to get 3 feet of air on the quarter pipe, I did but also broke my leg. Net result we ordered plans the next day for a 12 ft 1/2 pipe. Bjorn was 14 in that driving event because he took my truck to Rugby ND. Let’s get that heli trip on the calendar. Love you man Tor

First time I went to Snowbird this winter, I saw Bjorn lined up for the tram. Snowbird is my favorite of all SLC resorts for sure.
