You keep saying my head
Has been firmly planted in the sand
I guess I've never been brave that way


But I'm not a fool who buys bottled water
I'm not easily swayed


And that we should have gone
We should have gone a long time ago

Now Sweden has drifted too far away

You and your dreams and your fuzzy plans

Patience's something that you never had
And it's so hard
To talk sense to you

You still find truth
In the follies of youth


But I'm not a fool, I don't read the horoscope
I don't believe in happy ever after
A pyramid scheme

I keep telling you
But you act as if we had nothing to lose


You say you don't belong here
Because someone once said you look like a star
Another drunk man who saw a chance


You come from a family who can afford to be eccentric
Go back and cry to them


You could've gone on your own
A high-heeled escape to your fairyland

A daring run for designer clothes

You and your dreams, your fuzzy plans

Patience's something that you never had
And it's so hard
To talk sense to you

You still find truth
In the follies of youth


But I'm not a fool, I don't read the horoscope
I don't believe in happy ever after
A pyramid scheme

I keep telling you
But you act as if we had nothing to lose


The follies of youth
For someone like you
For someone like you they're still true
