Fever Ray - When I Grow Up |
|
when i grow up |
|
i want to be a forester |
|
run through the moss on high heels |
|
that's what i'll do |
|
throwing out boomerang |
|
waiting for it to come back to me |
|
when i grow up |
|
i want to live near the sea |
|
crab claws and bottles of rum |
|
that's what i'll have |
|
staring at the seashell |
|
waiting for it to embrace me |
|
i put my soul in what i do |
|
last night i drew a funny man |
|
with dark eyes and a hanging tongue |
|
it goes way bad |
|
i never liked a sad look |
|
from someone who wants to be loved by you |
|
i'm very good with plants |
|
when my friends are away |
|
they let me keep the soil moist |
|
on the seventh day i rest |
|
for a minute or two |
|
then back on my feet and cry for you |
|
you've got cucumbers on your eyes |
|
too much time spent on nothing |
|
waiting for a moment to arise |
|
the face in the ceiling |
|
and arms too long |
|
i wait for him to catch me |
|
waiting for you to embrace me |
