Can I -

Can I be with you tonight?

I don’t have a reason for asking

Thought of walking around and

Thought of running into you

But oh I’m too tired for that

I’ve been doing too much of that

Either you want to see me

Or you don’t want to see me

And if you don’t want to, yes I think I might survive that

You always fell when you were a child

You need some bruises to know you’re alive

And though I know you might agree just to be polite

Can I be with you tonight?

Can I walk real close to you and

Have your shoulder brush against my arm?

I don’t wanna fence you in or anything but I am warm

And you are shivering

All the talk about the weather and how it’s changing, could we not do that

All about me and you and what could happen, could we jump right to that

And if your friends pass us by just to see how it goes

They might think we’re in love

Can I walk that close?

And when an hour’s passed or two

Can we then go to a bar?

Watch the game at Dovas without watching the game at Dovas

Can I touch the soft part of your arm just when Finland seems to be winning

Can we buy another beer like we do in my parts of Sweden

When we can’t find the words for wanting to stay where we are

Just like this

Can we go to a bar?

When I’m with you, my voice seems too light
