When My Heart Was High

Lyrics

Love is a risky fuel to burn
if you don't know that you will learn
one spark can turn to flames
ignite the nitro of a burning heart
and you've only got yourself to blame
when it backfire in your face

I want you to know
I want you to say
but the words all come out wrong
tell them anyway

When my heart was high, ooh
it was always for the first time, ooh
this I can't deny
when my heart was high
it was always for the first time, ooh

Cry my baby I will always cry
cause you stole my heart no alibi
don't give it back cause it's with you that it belong
and baby I'm afraid to change
cause I have built my life around you
but the cracks begin to show

You wanted all I had to give
and I wish that I had more
more than I could give away

When my heart was high, ooh
it was always for the first time, ooh
this I can't deny
when my heart was high
it was always for the first time, ooh

Credits

Written, arranged, performed, recorded and produced by Oskar Humlebo. Drums by Gabbe.

My thoughts

Even though I realized during recording that it would be some time before I´d play this song live in this arrangement, I could´nt help but wanting to do it this way for the album, I just enjoyed it to much not to do it. I wanted it to swing from rough and unpolished to sweet and tender, back and forth, like it was beeing thrown between a boyschoir and a brittish rockband, sort of.
