[Verse 1]
Sometimes it leaves me with fear
Never saw the horizon this near
Look to the left then to the right
I tuck you in and kiss you goodnight

[Verse 2]
See there is something I know
We are not whom we’re told
We are more than we’ll never know

[Chorus]
And we’re living at the end of the world
Forget about all that you’ve heard
Living our dreams on the highway
It’s just another day
No matter what they say or you’ve heard
We’re living on top of the world
We’re living our dreams on the highway
No matter what they say
It’s just another day

[Verse 3]
I hear your heart beat in the night
You are like an echo of light
But in times when shallow runs deep
Your golden beauty goes cheap
Still there is something I know
Something yet to unfold
And we are more than we’ll never know

[Chorus]
And we’re living at the end of the world
Forget about all that you’ve heard
Living our dreams on the highway
It’s just another day
No matter what they say or you’ve heard
We’ve made it to the top of the world
Building up speed on the highway
We’ve made it to the end
Living at the end of the world

[Outro]
Forget about all that you’ve heard
No matter what they say or you’ve heard
We’ve made it to the top of the world
Building up speed on the highway
We’ve made it to the end of the world

​a-ha

A-ha is a Norweigian synth pop group formed in 1982. All ten of their studio albums have either reached #1 or #2 in Norway – the first three also reaching the top 10 in several countries across Europe – with a total of over 35 million sold worldwide. They became a ‘teen pin-up band’ and were followed by screaming, enthusiastic fans. In 2012, all three members were appointed to knighthood in Norway for their contributions to music.

Frontman Morten Harket was lured away from the blues/soul group Soldier Blue in 1982 by keyboardist Magne Furuholmen to join his band with guitarist Paul Waaktaar. When Harket saw a song in Waaktaar’s notebook that was going to be titled either “a-ha” or “A-hem”, he suggested naming the band “a-ha”.

A year later, the band released their debut single “Take On Me” in 1984 to huge success in Norway. However, when the song was re-recorded and re-released alongside their debut album Hunting High And Low in the summer of 1985 it achieved massive international success, reaching #1 in eleven countries. Its success was definitely aided by its groundbreaking, award-winning music video of pencil-sketch animation combined with live-action shots.
