Summer in Sweden

[Verse 1]
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

[Verse 2]
Been okay since you came around
Sea of love that I'm swimming now
See the light and I don't know how

[Pre-Chorus]
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

[Chorus 1]
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

[Verse 3]
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?

[Verse 4]
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

[Chorus 2]
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

[Verse 3]
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

[Outro]
'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
