Song of the Year: Peter Bjorn and John - Objects of My Affection aka "Detects On My Attention"

I remember when
When I first appeared
A long time ago
'Cause I heard some song I used to hear back then
A long time ago

I remember when
Even further back
In another town
'Cause I saw something written I used to say back then
How to comprehend

And the question is
Was I more alive then than I am now
I happily have to disagree
I laugh more often now
I cry more often now
I am more me

But of course some days I just lie around
And happily exist
And can’t tell apart what I’m eating
From my hand or my wrist
Cause flesh is flesh
Flesh is flesh is flesh
The difference is thin
But life has a certain ability of breathing new life into me
So I breathe it in

It tells me here you are
And you all are here
And you can still make sense
If you don’t show up with three cents and honest face
Instead of that grin

And the question is
Was I more alive then than I am now
I happily have to disagree
I laugh more often now
I cry more often now
I am more me

And the other day
This new friend of mine
Said something to me
“Just because something starts differently
Doesn’t mean it’s worth less”
And I soaked it in,
How I soaked it in
How I soaked it in

And yes asked to prove how right he was
Then you came
So I’m gonna give, yes I’m gonna give
I’m gonna give you a try
So I’m gonna give, yes I’m gonna give
I’m gonna give you a try

And the question is
Was I more alive then than I am now
I happily have to disagree
I laugh more often now
I cry more often now
I am more me
