Dom säger att vi borde sakta ner
Ta det lugnt och se vad livet ger
Men jag har väntat hela året på det här
Å jag har längtat hela våren efter det här
Jag backar aldrig nu jag lovar och jag svär
Det finns ingen ångest när sommaren kommer
Ikväll tål jag hur mycket som helst
Har ingen ångest, vet knappt hur det känns

Vi kör bara på, finns ingen gräns
Ikväll ska vi spåra, som lyckliga dårar
Ikväll ska vi spåra, som lyckliga dårar

Dom säger att vi borde växa upp
Verkligheten kan bli alltför tuff
Men jag har väntat hela året på det här
Å jag har längtat hela våren efter det här
Jag backar aldrig nu jag lovar och jag svär
Det finns ingen ångest när sommaren kommer
Ikväll tål jag hur mycket som helst
Har ingen ångest, vet knappt hur det känns
Vi kör bara på, finns ingen gräns
Ikväll ska vi spåra, som lyckliga dårar
Ikväll ska vi spåra, som lyckliga dårar

Jag vill aldrig att kvällen ska ta slut
Får inte somna, får försöka hålla ut
Skiter i om det blir skratt eller tårar
Nu ska vi spåra som lyckliga dårar.
Ikväll tål jag hur mycket som helst
Har ingen ångest, vet knappt hur det känns
Vi kör bara på, finns ingen gräns
Ikväll ska vi spåra, som lyckliga dårar
Ikväll tål jag hur mycket som helst
Har ingen ångest, vet knappt hur det känns
Vi kör bara på, finns ingen gräns
Ikväll ska vi spåra, som lyckliga dårar

Ikväll ska vi spåra, som lyckliga dårar
Ikväll ska vi spåra, som lyckliga dårar

Line by Line Meaning

Dom säger att vi borde sakta ner
People advise us to slow down

Ta det lugnt och se vad livet ger
Take it easy and see what life has in store

Men jag har väntat hela året på det här
But I have been waiting all year for this

Å jag har längtat hela våren efter det här
And I have been yearning for this all spring

Jag backar aldrig nu jag lovar och jag svär
I will never back down now, I promise and I swear

Det finns ingen ångest när sommaren kommer
There is no anxiety when summer arrives

Ikväll tål jag hur mycket som helst
Tonight I can handle anything

Har ingen ångest, vet knappt hur det känns
I have no anxiety, I barely know how it feels

Vi kör bara på, finns ingen gräns
We just keep going, there is no limit

Ikväll ska vi spåra, som lyckliga dårar
Tonight we will let ourselves go, like happy fools

Dom säger att vi borde växa upp
They say we should grow up

Verkligheten kan bli alltför tuff
Reality can be too tough

Jag vill aldrig att kvällen ska ta slut
I never want the evening to end

Får inte somna, får försöka hålla ut
Can't fall asleep, have to try to hold on

Skiter i om det blir skratt eller tårar
I don't care if it ends in laughter or tears

Nu ska vi spåra som lyckliga dårar.
Now we will follow our hearts like happy lunatics
