lyrics

Getting lost in the wild blue yonder
In the solace of my favorite author
Sky is bending with the twist in the ending
Life is heaven sent, life is heaven-sending

Been ok since you came around
Sea of love that I’m swimming now
See the light and I don’t know how

Staying up and sleeping late
Getting tan and gaining weight
Walking arm in arm like there is nothing that could harm us if it tried

oooh oooh oooh oooh
You’re the one for me
Count to ten, run and hide
See if you can find
Me
K-i-s-s-i-n-g
Bottle in my hand
Underneath a dogwood tree

Feels like summer in Sweden
Feels like an endless feeling
Feels like its never leaving

But I know this sun will set
There will be a darkness yet
What’s a girl do to but make a choice and see it through?

Do you remember what you said to me
On a bus seat next to that girl asleep
With her hand in a bucket of KFC

Cuz I don’t remember a thing
Unless its something funny to me
But you weren’t being funny I thought maybe he could love me if we tried

oooh oooh oooh oooh
You’re the one for me
Summer’s come and gone
And I don’t wanna leave
oooh oooh oooh
Catching fever dreams in jars
Ss they flicker through my skull
Out my teeth to join the stars

Read a book by Sinead O’Connor
Stained the pages and stared out at the water
Took a note when she said that songs are ghosts
I guess if anybody knows she knows
And I’m gonna take her word for it
Gonna say goodbye and be ok with it
Gonna give my life to a lost cause
Gonna give what is to what once was

Cuz every time i write a song
It lives but it don’t live long
Just hangs around forever even though the life I gave it is all gone
