Stockholm Lyrics

Was it all a lucid dream

An illusion of something clean

I used to lose myself in art

I used to lose my aching heart

Now I don't care anymore

I dream in colours, my life on film

Constant reminders of who I used to be

Scattered pictures and fading scenes

Of what was once a dream

And they mean nothing to me

I've been standing on the station for the last 16 years

Waiting for a train to come and take me away from here

And from a 2nd hand apartment I look back on my life

In a rented room in Stockholm the tears never dry

I know I've changed

I'm not the same anymore

I want, I need

To change my ways

Say it's not too late

Today's the oldest that I've ever been

And the youngest that I'll ever be again

I never felt so alone

I never felt so far from home

Like I did in Luleå

We walk through Old Town like lovers do

This world is dying and I turn to you

You comfort me with your smile

And I drown in your eyes

At least for a short while

I've been standing on the station for the last 16 years

Waiting for a train to come and take me away from here

From a 1 room apartment I look back on my life

In a rented room in Stockholm the tears never dry

I know, I need

To change my ways

Nina, please say

It's not too late

To change

Take me back to the future when the future was a dream

Take me back to the future when I was seventeen

Take me back to the future when life was like a film

Take me back to the future 'cause it's not what it used to be

I've been standing on the station for the last 16 years

Waiting for a train to come and take me away from here

And from a 2nd hand apartment I look back on my life

In a rented room in Stockholm the tears never dry

I know, I've changed

I'm not the same anymore

I know, I need

To change my ways

Say it's not too late
