Roman [English translation]

[Verse 1]

Printed in bold on all sides

In uppercase each word

You should not spread me right away like a leaflet

I want to be safe in one place

Like a Bible solid and holy

Unbreakable - eternally true

And not as part of many parts

I want to stand alone as an eternal book

[Chorus]

I want to be a novel

On the pages of your life

Written with ink - black ink from your heart

I want to be a hurricane

No short story

A manifesto - I want you to get up at night

[Verse 2]

Like Robinson and Friday

On an island somewhere

Like Romeo and Juliet

Summer rain, midsummer night's dream

[Chorus]

I want to be a novel

On the pages of your life

Written with ink - black ink from your heart

I want to be a hurricane

No short story

A manifesto - I want you to get up at night

[Verse 3]

And what I wanted to tell you

Does not fit on a piece of paper

If I could read in your eyes

What would you-

What would you tell me?

[Chorus]

I want to be a novel

On the pages of your life

Written with ink - black ink from your heart

I want to be a hurricane

No short story

A manifesto - I want you to get up at night

[Bridge]

I want you to get up at - to get up at night

I want you to get up at - to get up at night

I want you to get up at - to get up at night

To get up - to get up at night

[Outro]

Black and gray (written)

Black and gray

Black and gray written

Black and gray (written)

Black and gray

Black and gray on paper

A manifesto - I want you to get up at night
