about

What is this song about?:
About being curious about another person, wanting to get to know them, dive into the “book of them”, instead of just assuming who they are, or how we want them to be, this applies to other people and yourself as well... ultimately getting to know yourself as well.
Die a little to my dream, meaning letting go of my fantasy of the other person.
Recorded in Copenhagen and Berlin.

lyrics

THE BOOK OF YOU
I want to read the book of you - look at the pages - scrolling through
Not just judge it by it’s cover - Oh, there’s so much to discover!
chorus:

So if you let me I will listen - If you let me I will see
and if you let me I will carry this book of you with me
And die a little to my dream - I’ll die a little to my dream

Life is short but it takes so long - When everything seems to be going wrong
I got caught under the bus - In my feeble attempt to love
chorus:
So if you let me I will listen - If you let me I will see
and if you let me I will carry this book of you with me
And die a little to my dream - I’ll die a little to my dream
Bridge:

We’re the seeds that you planted in your street - Something’s growing yet unseen
Between the sky and the ground - We are found

Now it’s time to read the book of me - Dive into it deeply set it free
Oh, there’s so much to discover - can't just judge me by my cover
chorus:
So if you let me I will listen - If you let me I will see
and if you let me I will carry this book of you with me
And die a little to my dream - I’ll die a little to my dream
