"Somewhere In Stockholm" lyrics

That's me right there on the corner
Listening to Wu in my Walkman
Neon lights at the water, reflecting the city I'm lost in
That's me right there on the corner
I, one day, would be leaving
For a dream that I didn't have
That I'd one day would believe in
Strange how the same place I ran from
Is the same place I think of whenever the chance comes
It's inevitable, 'cause wherever I go

I hear echoes of a thousand screams
As I lay me down to sleep
There's a black hole deep inside of me
Reminding me, that I've lost my backbone (Back home)
Somewhere in Stockholm
I lost my backbone (Back home), somewhere in Stockholm

I'm from a place where we never openly show our emotions
We drown our sorrows in bottomless bottles
And leave them to float in the ocean
I'm from a place where we never
Separate people from people
Some generalise, but in general I
Still believe that we are treated as equals
My father, my mother, my sister, my brother
My friends and my family's there
My hope and my money, my innocence in a sense
Almost lost everything here
Right where I was founded
Is right where I'll be found dead
The streets of my backbone, until I get back home

I hear echoes of a thousand screams
As I lay me down to sleep
There's a black hole deep inside of me
Reminding me, that I've lost my backbone (Back home)
Somewhere in Stockholm
I lost my backbone (Back home), somewhere in Stockholm

I'm not alone, I am the fire that burns
Not of the city but out of the 'burbs
A river that's just dying of thirst
I am a reverend lying in church
A crack in the pattern, a miracle waiting to happen
A promise that never was kept
One of those moments you'll never forget
I am that feeling inside
The one we all know but can't really describe
I am the blood spill, but I'm in love still
Somewhere in Stockholm
But I'm not alone
Don't have to get by on my own
I'm finally home
Hemma i Stockholm
Där jag hör hemma

I hear echoes of a thousand screams
As I lay me down to sleep
There's a black hole deep inside of me
Reminding me, that I've lost my backbone (Back home)
Somewhere in Stockholm
I lost my backbone (Back home), somewhere in Stockholm
