[Verse 1]
The botanical gardens are full of newlyweds
Emma pretends to vomit but Casper looks up and says
"I wouldn't mind if one day that was you and me"
Emma kisses his mouth and says, "Over my dead body"
[Chorus]
But, oh, pumpkin pie
I'm gonna love you 'til I die
It's just scary sometimes
But 'til death and beyond
Baby, you're the one I want
[Verse 2]
The tram screeches like a dying cat flying out of Slottsskogen
Casper takes out a Sharpie
And writes on her hand
"Every day is a summer's day with you, babe"
There's a guy sitting opposite
Peeking from under his cap
Emma whispers to Casper
"Let's give him something to look at"
[Chorus]
Oh, pumpkin pie
I'm gonna love you 'til I die
It's just scary sometimes
But 'til death and beyond
Baby, you're the one I want
[Post-Chorus]
You're the one I want
You're the one that I want
[Verse 3]
Emma turns on the TV
Sees the guy from the tram before
He's on a late night talk show
Some kind of troubadour
They ask him where he gets his stories from
He says, "Well, just today
I saw this couple on the tram
And a story took shape"
How fragile and bold
Isn't young love?
Like skating on a frozen lake
When it's five above
Emma turns off the TV
Looks at Casper yawn
She knows they're more than some characters
In some stupid song
[Chorus]
She says 'til death
And beyond
Baby, you're the one I
You're the one I want
