don't let anyone stand in your way.

Nina I can be your boyfriend

so you can stay with your girlfriend.

Your father is a sweet old man

but it is hard for him to understand

that you wanna love a woman

Nina I can be your boyfriend

if it puts an end to all this nonsens.

First time I see you in Berlin.

And you don't tell me anyting.

Until outside your dad's apartment!

Oh God, Jesus Christ!

I try to focus on your eyes

we're having dinner with your family now

keep a steady look at your left eyebrow

If it's raised, it means yes

If it's not it means take a guess

Hey! You! Stop kicking my legs

I'm doing my best

can you pass the eggs?

Your father puts on my record

he sais: so tell me how you met her

I get a little nervous and change the subject

and put my hand on some metal object

He jokes and tells me it's a liedetector

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 som 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
