Ida Carlsson Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You said it was one need shine
You wanted me to fall to rise
To get back on my feet again
But you never told me how
You said it ain't easy everytime
Sometimes it's god damn hard
To get back on my feet again
But you never told me how
Nothing lasts forever
Should I go any further
Far from home
I'm dancing on my own
What's right, what's wrong
In a fucked up world when you're young
So please tell me what should I do
Tell me something
Now I'm walking in under
Sinking deeper every turn
You wanted me to fall
To rise to get back on my feet again
But you never told me how
Nothing lasts forever
Should I go any further
Far from home
I'm dancing on my own
What's right, what's wrong
In a fucked up world when you're young
So please tell me what should I do
Tell me something
Far from home
Goodbye so long
I'm on my own
Now I'm gone
Far from home
Goodbye so long
I'm on my own
Now I'm gone
Far from home
I'm dancing on my own
What's right, what's wrong
In a fucked up world when you're young
So please tell me what should I do
Tell me something
Far from home
I'm dancing on my own
What's right, what's wrong
In a fucked up world when you're young
So please tell me what should I do
