Peter Bjorn And John - Just The Past Lyrics

Tell me how do I get to know you?
You untie me as if i were a shoelace
You let out all I could hold between my buttons
But from you I get nothing

Even if I gave you a mountain on a bad day
You don't think you're worth the top of
And how can I change that
When it's in your fundament
You can't take a compliment

Take a rest with me
After a long day
Foot is on the table
Don't take them down, down, down
Don't take them down

Is it your parents?
Or just the past?
Is it your parents?
Or just the past?

If you should reach what you aim for
Don't give yourself the blame for what's obviously not your fault
And don't laugh this away
You won't get to hear what I really have to say
What I see is not what you think I see
And what I think is not what you think I think
I know me but you don't know me
As I don't know you but..

Take a rest with me
After a long day
Foot is on the table
Don't take them down, down, down
Don't take them down

Is it your parents?
Or just the past?
Is it your parents?
Or just the past?
