EYJAA / I Was Gonna Marry Him Musik og tekst: Maria Broberg, Rasmus Olsen, Thomas Buttenschøn EYJAA består af søstrene Brynja og Sara, der meget vel kan betegnes som vaskeægte verdensborgere. De har nemlig boet i seks forskellige lande, taler fem forskellige sprog, er vokset op i Island, men bor i dag i Danmark. Én ting har søstrene dog holdt fast i, uanset hvor på kloden, de befandt sig: musikken. Siden de var helt små, har Brynja og Sara nemlig spillet musik sammen, og i 2021 debuterede de som duo under navnet Eyjaa med debutsinglen 'Don't Forget About Me'. Nummeret blev et stort radiohit og blev blandt andet kåret som 'P3's Uundgåelige'. Siden har duoen udsendt flere singler, og nu er de klar med næste skud på stammen, nummeret 'I Was Gonna Marry Him', som Eyjaa håber kan lede dem til sejren ved årets Dansk Melodi Grand Prix. - At stå her sammen som søstre er virkelig stort for os. Vi har igennem hele vores liv oplevet både det søde og det sure sammen; vi har oplevet hinanden miste og være ulykkelige, men vi har også altid haft alle de gode ting sammen. Dét, den ene af os går igennem, mærker den anden, og derfor er sangen helt perfekt for os, siger duoen.

He, he's got a face just like God
Trust me, I loved every part
As if he was one of the seven wonders
But, but when I gave him my heart
He took it and tore it apart
He took it and tore it apart

He ran away
He ran away-ay-ay
Oh, I wanted to be with him
But he wanted to see the world
Begged him to stay
Begged him to stay-ay-ay-ay-ay
Thought I was gonna marry him
He, he was like fire and rain
Some people called it insane
He was a drug and I got addicted
But, one day he couldn't be found
I thought that he was the one
I thought that he was the one

He ran away
He ran away-ay-ay
Oh, I wanted to be with him
But he wanted to see the world
Begged him to stay
Begged him to stay-ay-ay-ay-ay
Thought I was gonna marry him

They, they say I'll get better with time
But I'm not a bottle of wine
Do you ever think about me or not?
Guess one, one day will you realize
You left a good thing to die
You left a good thing to die

But he ran away
He ran away-ay-ay
Oh, I wanted to be with him
But he wanted to see the world
Begged him to stay
I begged him to stay-ay-ay-ay-ay
Thought I was gonna marry him, no-no-no
