New Directions - Jens Lekman

Take a right at the roundabout

Another right gets you around and out

Left for 0.2km

45 and take a right again

Take a slight left passing over

The 45 merges into E20

The E20 merges into E6

The sunset burns in the firebreaks

They say this what your friends should be for

But I don’t know who my friends are any more

Sometimes I get this feeling

This town’s been constructed around me brick by brick

This walls seem to be thin

And I think I’m being used for some purpose

In a future I did not know I lived in

With a heart I did not know that could be breaking

They say this is what your friends are for

But I don’t know who you people are any more

Take a left when you come out the door

Go past Peggy’s grocery store

Walk down Calendar Road to the stop

There’s a funeral home and some empty shops

Just wave your hand to the cruising cops

The flowers and all the door knobs

The bus is waiting down the hill

Your left hand wrapped round a mint pastille

Your right hand wrapped round a milk-white stone

From this point you will never be alone
