Lyrics:
It’s come to my attention
That I don’t show enough
Of what I think
It’s only when I drink I open up
But I promise that I love you
Even with that hairdo
I’m sorry I made fun of it
It’s not your fault it looks like shit (like shit)

I have never tolerated someone for so long
I’ve never laughed so much
I haven’t written a sad song
There’s no one else I’d rather fall asleep with
And dream with
You’re my best friend in the world

When we’re ninety eight and ninety nine (ninety nine)
Tumbling down the stairs
You’ll barely catch me in time (tumbling down)
We’ll argue about what to watch on TV
Finally pick a movie then we’ll fall asleep (asleep)
We’ll still be a little bit strange
Some things never change

It’s funny cause you drive me half insane
A universe without you would thoroughly mundane
There’s no one else I’d rather fall in love with
And that is my best friend in the world

You’re my best friend in the world

[gab-me]

she sings "your my best friend in the world" while her best friend in the world is beside her SO PRECIOUS 🥺🥺

[hantze]

i love the way laufey looks at her sister when she sings certain lines and how her sister grins back

[sapphicism]

this is the best way to find out that laufey has a twin i was so confused how there were two laufey's at the same time and it didn't look edited 😭😭 yall look soooo identical and you're both so talented too :')

[felicialu]

I ALMOST CRIED WHEN I SAW HER SISTER PLAY OH MY LORD THAT'S THE BEST CAMIO (is that the correct terminology?) I'VE EVER SEEN IN ALL MY LIFE.

[nevesp.]

The violin part feels like an "I love you too"

[buruberichijeukeiku]

I wish I had extensive musical vocab to describe it better but the violin play at 0:56 gets me every time. I think this is how reciprocated love sounds like.

[redmoon]

It’s like your sister is your voice through that violin amongst the other instruments and I’m obsessed with you laufey 🥺🖤🖤🖤🖤

[Anoudyoo]

Imagine you’re junia and your sister is singing a song about you and how she loves you infront of millions of people I’d cry my eyes out

[bubbbs]

her sister smiling at the end tells you everything ❤

[shujianK]

0:44
This part is giving me disney vibes, Junia plays really well❤

[aunizainal]

0:50 when her twin plays the violin i got goosebumps this is so wholesome j love it❤

[annapesoriano]

They are both beautiful and blooming with talent 🥰🥰😭

[kwolenberger]

Beautiful orchestral arrangement. How nice of the audience to enjoy her performance and the orchestra as opposed to making it a sing-along. What a lovely voice

[cloviskai]

You know she's special when every single comment is wholesome and kind

[Vejur]

The compliment we can pay to these sisters, is that their music is heavenly.

[hello]

[Verse 1]
It's come to my attention
That I don't show enough of what I think
It's only when I drink, I open up
But I promise that I love you
Even with that hair-do
I'm sorry I made fun of it
It's not your fault it looks like shit

[Pre-Chorus]
I have never tolerated someone for so long
I've never laughed so much
I haven't written a sad song

Chorus]
There's no one else
I'd rather fall asleep with and dream with
You're my best friend in the world

[Instrumental Bridge]

[Verse 3]
When we're ninety-eight and ninety-nine
Tumblin' down the stairs
You'll barely catch me in time
We'll argue about what to watch on TV
Finally, pick a movie, then we'll fall asleep
We'll still be a little bit strange
Some things never change

[Pre-Chorus]
It's funny 'cause you drive me half-insane
A universe without you would be thoroughly mundane

[Chorus]
There's no one else
I'd rather fall in love with and that is
My best friend in the world

[Outro]
You're my best friend in the world

[pil]

Laufey looks so bright when junia is by her side 😭❤️❤️

[inidaonedance]

Love everything about this performance 🥹💘

[honeymorante]

this is the sweetest performance ❤❤❤ and the orchestra!! my gosh

[sleepyotter]

Idk but the fact that the universe is so huge that we don't even know how much it is but still the line 'a universe without you would be thoroughly mundane' makes that even magical. That might be the power of love ❤
