lyrics

oh the silence in my ice cream shop on rainy days
is killing me

oh the number of people wanting to buy ice cream
on sunny days
is killing me

oh the youth in her face
when she tried to tie her shoe laces
the sadness in her voice
when she spoke about her grandparents

the scent of her hair
strawberry
she never wanted to go to bed
but when she did I held her hand
and sang a bunch of lullabies

goodnight
sleep tight

oh the whiteness in my spring shoes
and the stains too
from summer last year
from the Gothenburg clubs

from the way to my job
taking care of men and women
of age

and one of them said
”the youth in your eyes
it shines through, I envy you
and don't forget to be honest
'cause honesty is super important
I see you only wear bright colours
well, I do too”
