don't blame the shadows
they can't understand
where you are
or where you're going

i could stay forever
forget the past
forget the future

walk with me
and sing
it's not the end of the summer

you painted a rainbow on the wall

i left my school
i left my job

everyone thought it was such a shame

att inte kunna se skogen
för att träden är så många
och i vägen

your eyes are blue
you stay inside and
lock the door

but don't forget
you don't have to be made of steel
and i'm right here

i spend the summer wasting

but if the summer's wasted
how come that i could feel so free?

they said
dream on dreamer

när drömmarna är allt jag har
kvar

don't forget the words that made you cry
or the words that made you laugh

yes, you are older now
and you've moved on

but it might come a time when you need those words

you go disco
and i'll go my way

the only things i read are faces
and the sky is blue beyond compare

bad scenes come and go
for which you must allow

don't rake up my mistakes
i know exactly what they are

when last i spoke to emily she said:
my philosophy has changed
since 1996

i won't stop
i won't disappear

i just go where i want to go
and stay there

promise
you'll always be around

if i fall

you looked like a portrait
of someone i used to know
