You! Stop kicking my legs I'm doing my best, can you pass the eggs Your father puts on my record he says: so tell me how you met her I get embarrassed and change the subject and put my hand on some metal object He laughs and says that's a lie detector He takes out the booklet and starts reading So I heard you're moving out next season I say: Yeah, New York is nice that time of year Almost as green as it is here He says: I thought you were moving to Sweden? Oh God, what have I done? I came to Berlin to have some fun Then it turned into Buffalo '66 on your fathers wall a big crucifix guess thats why he wont let u go his catholic heart is big and slow you know I'll do anything for love but Nina what were you thinking of? But Nina I can be your boyfriend So you can stay with your girlfriend Your father is mailing me all the time He says he just wants to say hi I send back "out of office, auto-replies" Nina I just want to check in 'cause I think about you every second So I send you this postcard just to say Don't let anyone stand in your way Yours truly, Jens Lekman Don't let anyone stand in your way Don't let anyone stand in your way Don't let anyone stand in your way Don't let anyone stand in your way
