Annie Leibovitz [English translation]

I had dreams, shit, I had so many dreams

The tiny boy in the tiny town in the tiny country

and I can remember, sure I can remember

The yellow Crescent bike I got when I was ten

when there was a ten öre coin

mom was like my chieftain

There's photos on paper in some albums on the shelf

and I had to sit down, the short ones always had to sit down

every school photo, sat with dirty knees

But it's been, do you remember all that's been

If the emotions are still here it was probably legendary

The image's a bit blurry, the focus was shaky

We can immortalize this more than photographically

This is life, sure

We want to see what's on the inside

But if I were Annie Leibovitz

maybe I could, maybe I could

maybe I'll

capture us

maybe I could, maybe I could

maybe I'll

capture us

And you took a picture but thought I was too short

but after we'd talked it didn't matter anymore

I had the camera in my pocket, my future ahead

with a thousand self-portraits that didn't show where I wanted to go

When you look back, all you see if happiness

We never took the time to photograph the sorrows along the way

We can develop pictures, and develop the memory

but no Hasselblad in the world can capture the whole width

You saw me, you saw me for real

We got past the surface, because love is clever

You made me real, before it was all ficticious

Things break in two so you should be careful

We can look at a thousand pictures without seeing each other

A photo stops time but life rarely wants to stop

I thought I looked fat, you thought you turned out ugly but

the real picture is in your head, you know this is

This is life, sure

We want to see what's on the inside

But if I were Annie Leibovitz

maybe I could, maybe I could

maybe I'll

capture us

maybe I could, maybe I could

maybe I'll

capture us

What if a tiny piece disappears every time we take a picture

What if our gigabytes can't hold the whole memory

so we put some filter on all of our photos

thought nothing of what happened looked like it turned out in the pictures

So we just keep taking many shots

nothing's allowed to disappear

let the camera work hard

Before we disappear, we'll capture ourselves

This is life, sure

We want to see what's on the inside

But if I were Annie Leibovitz

maybe I could, maybe I could

maybe I'll

capture us

maybe I could, maybe I could

maybe I'll

capture us.
