Jag vill ha dig hela tiden [English translation]

Then I wouldn’t have gotten any sleep

The nights you were here

It would have been impossible in the mornings

Just as well that you don’t know

Then I wouldn’t have had the energy to answer

Know that some people would have asked

I think the shapes around us would have angered

It’s just as well that you don’t know

That I want you all the time

Then I would have been so nervous

I wouldn’t have been able to eat

If you invited me for dinner I wouldn’t have been able to stop talking

Just as well that you don’t know

It probably wouldn’t have worked out

One of us would have become difficult

To be with in the long run, to go all the way with

Just as well that you don’t know

That I want you all the time

You would have gotten my best laugh

I would have felt too good

I wouldn’t have had to write

And you would have missed me when I was gone

Just as well that you don’t know

I am old enough to realize

That pride doesn’t suit me

You seem past all that

You would have told me if you wanted me

And that’s surely why I want you

All the time
