Living Dangerously

Sondre Lerche


Five years have passed since our old friends all exclaimed
'Why rush to waste it away? Don't hang you ambition and sense out to dry'
But I still know, just as I knew well back then
We had nothing to defend
Now all our friends are out mowing the lawn

I'm not trying to disrespect
But I don't wanna build a house
This old place will do just fine
To settle for and settle down
Never really crossed my mind
Oh I'll be living dangerously with you instead

I might have said 'buddy you letting things slide
Passively biding your time
For something better to arrive
Only settle for what you're assigned'
But I won't quiz any uncomfortable q's
Only 'congrats' any 'good for you's
Now all our friend are in debt and expecting

I'm not trying to disrespect
But selfish as I know it sounds
I would hate to compromise
To settle for the solid ground
Never really crossed my mind
Oh I'll be living dangerously with you instead

I'm not trying to disrespect
But I don't wanna build a house
This old place will do for now
To settle for and settle down
Never really crossed my mind
Oh I'm not gonna build a house
I don't really have the time
Oh I'll be living dangerously with you instead
