I must write about my end You read me like an open book But the more you read the less you want to know
Leave Sweden at the Vinga lighthouse No time for ceremonies The band plays our song and it sounds pitifully worthless
We two are lost at sea And the waves they crash over You and me We two are lost at sea We will be brought back up on a beautiful day You and I
I don't have the strength to flee any more It is others that rush now And it is for them that I sing this tonight
Stood with my back against the wall when I met you First it bends and then it falls Yes, even fuck-ups have a choice that they make And the right to give up for someone Is the last right you have
We two are lost at sea And the waves they crash over You and me We two are lost at sea We will be brought back up on a beautiful day You and I
Deeper and deeper There is no way back Deeper and deeper
