Känner du en saknad
Minns du att du varit här
Eller har du vaknat
Från en sömn med spår av liv
Vaknat till ett annat
Där du känner själens frid
Den vackraste av sanna
Att aldrig mera se dig här
En smärta utan slut
Du fanns hos mig, nu är du där
Säg hur ska jag stå ut
Kan jag leva i den saknad
Som du skapat inom mig
Säg att jag har drömt och vaknat
Jag vill vara nära dig
Hur skall glädje få sin plats
När vi mist och skadats
Känner du vår ensamhet
När den är som klarast
Finns det någon där som vet
Som kan ge oss ledning
Är du i en evighet
Säg finns det någon mening
Att aldrig mera se dig här
En smärta utan slut
Du fanns hos mig, nu är du där
Säg hur ska jag stå ut
Kan jag leva i den saknad
Som du skapat inom mig
Säg att jag har drömt och vaknat
Jag vill vara nära dig
Att aldrig mera se dig här
En smärta utan slut
Du fanns hos mig, nu är du där
Säg hur ska jag stå ut
Kan jag leva i den saknad
Som du skapat inom mig
Säg att jag har drömt och vaknat
Jag vill vara nära dig

The pain of never seeing the person again is described as endless, and the singer asks how they can endure it. They question if they can live with the longing that the person has created within them and hope that they have just dreamed and awakened, wanting to be close to the person.
The lyrics also touch upon the struggle of finding joy and happiness after experiencing loss and harm. The singer asks if the person they miss understands their loneliness when it is at its most prominent, and if there is someone who knows and can guide them through. They wonder if the person is in eternity and if there is any meaning to it all.
