Summer in Sweden

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 okay 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

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

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 feelin'

Feels like it's never leavin'

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?

'Cause I don't remember a thing

Unless that thing is funny to me

And you weren't being funny

I thought maybe he could love me if we tried

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

You're the one for me

Summer's come and gone

And I don't wanna leave

Ooh-ooh-ooh

Catching fever dreams in jars

As 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

I 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 okay with it

Gonna give my life to a lost cause

Gonna give what is to what once was

'Cause 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
