Islanda
Pinguini Tattici Nucleari
Iceland
We drifted apart
Like two planets without gravity
Like friends after college
Yeah, like two brothers over inheritance
We shared a thousand dreams
And now we’re back to square one
Telling them to people who don’t give a damn
I hope at least you made one come true (Ah, no?)
I wanted the north and you were looking for the south
Opposite currents, but the same vibe
You asked for dessert, I was the amuse-bouche
I was lifting you up, up, up
I still call you, but you don’t know
On that old number from years ago
But you changed it, you’re not there anymore
And it goes tu-tu-tu (Tu-tu-tu)
But do you ever think
About the things I know about you
That now don’t mean a thing?
But what do you know about me?
That your mom liked me?
That I believed in karma?
That I dreamed of going to Iceland, to Iceland?
A rental car with just a Sigur Rós CD inside
The wind pushing us along the Ring Road
The shark drawn on the t-shirt
And yeah, but then I wake up and I’m still here in my studio
Smog instead of the northern lights
Your dreams that won’t leave me alone
(They won’t leave me alone)
I’m Holly and Benji, you’re Sailor Moon
Opposite stories, but the same vibe
I was looking for the sky in your blue eyes
You were lifting me up, up, up
I have two tickets for wherever you want
It’d be nice to go back to us
I still call you, you’re not there anymore
And it goes tu-tu-tu (Tu-tu-tu)
But do you ever think
About the things I know about you
That now don’t mean a thing?
But what do you know about me?
That your mom liked me?
That I believed in karma?
That I dreamed of going to Iceland?
Maybe if we were close over time we’d end up hating each other
Hurt each other out of boredom and ask the other: "What’s up?"
Now your old number is answered by a travel agency
And finally, I’m going to Iceland, but without you
But do you ever think
About the things I know about you
That now don’t mean a thing?
But what do you know about me?
That your mom liked me?
That I believed in karma?
That I dreamed of going to Iceland, to Iceland?
