lyrics

(to accept)

I have given away tickets for nineteen years like confetti
Guest lists, signed things, drinks, the after-show, all of it
And I called it generosity and never once considered
That every free thing turns a person into an audience

What it costs to accept (to accept)
Nobody counts that, to accept
She counted it, to accept
To accept

To accept, to accept, to accept, to accept
A ticket makes you a fan and a gift makes you a guest
To accept, to accept, to accept, to accept
And she has paid full price eleven times to stay the first one

There is a whole industry built on giving things to people
so that they owe you something they can never name.
And a dental nurse from Uppsala worked it out on her own.
(FULL PRODUCTION, BIGGEST)

To accept, to accept, to accept, to accept
A ticket makes you a fan and a gift makes you a guest
To accept, to accept, to accept, to accept
And she has paid full price eleven times to stay the first one

(full price...)
