Oslo

Remember how you hated me, contempt in your face

Your love wasn’t meant to be, still you walk with me everyday

I drew first blood, you drew me in

I found my brothers, I found my kin

This city lives inside of me, its lights and its streets

This city wants a bite of me, it feeds and it eats

This city lives inside of me, its lights and its streets

This city wants a bite of me, it feeds and it eats

Blue lights on the corner, we know no names

A code that you honour, we don’t know shame

You eat what I eat, you sleep where I sleep

Tear each other down, Still get us back on our feet

This city lives inside of me, its lights and its streets

This city wants a bite of me, it feeds and it eats

This city lives inside of me, its lights and its streets

This city wants a bite of me, it feeds and it eats

I try to find my rest, you keep whispering my name

Put my city on my chest, Still it puts me in a chain

Won’t forget where I come from, won’t forget where I’m born

I’ve had gold and I’ve had breadcrumbs, still no place just like home, (still no place just like home)

This city lives inside of me, its lights and its streets

This city wants a bite of me, it feeds and it eats

This city lives inside of me, its lights and its streets

This city wants a bite of me, it feeds and it eats

A wise man once told me:

If you forget where you come from

You never gonna make it where you go

So Oslo, I keep you in my heart,

I keep you in my soul
