To think I've felt more free on a park bench
We had fun but still had nothing to do
She said, 'you're wasting your life, you'll be nothing'
But then nothing will be mine to destroy
They said, 'you're wasting your life but you're charming'
'Maybe you should be a cop', then I said, 'never'
My heart will remain mine to break
They'll love me the day I'm gone, yeah
Saying, 'if you're gonna take someone, take me first'
If I were to die now, I'd die young
So give me everything I wish for
Never been so high on myself as now
Maybe I have to die now, yeah
Maybe I have to die now so I die young
They said, 'your attitude will get you nowhere'
I said, 'if nowhere is the place where I find everything'
She said, 'you'll never meet any angels'
But I think I'd much rather make money
So forgive me then, a lot has changed
Old friends tell me I've changed
I wish I could've stayed here forever
But I'm betraying the place I've loved for my future, yeah
Saying, 'if you're gonna take someone, take me first'
If I were to die now, I'd die young
So give me everything I wish for
Never been so high on myself as now
Maybe I have to die now, yeah
Maybe I have to die now so I die young
'You'll get stuck here downtown'
You mean the center of attention?
I'll stay here, catch the last bus out
But 132, that's my home, bro
Will always look back here
The red houses down the row
Where we dreamed about having money
And where we used to sit stoned
A hill up to where mom lives
A ladder up to where dad is
A moment of silence for every friend
Who stayed behind when I flew away
We should've stayed forever, but
Where me and Lasse blew through a bag and I don't get how we managed
Saying, 'if you're gonna take someone, take me first'
If I were to die now, I'd die young
So give me everything I wish for
Never been so high on myself as now
Maybe I have to die now, yeah
Maybe I have to die now so I die young
