Drömmen om Alice [English translation]

I dreamed about Alice

That she stepped in and took over

That she was more beautiful now

Than she was before

That you stood on my schoolyard

The only one I've enjoyed

Her laughter was the same

It echoed just like before

I ran all the way

I flew past the houses

It felt like the mile

You never came after

I have said one thing and meant another

I too have lied

I have said one thing and meant another

This is the punishment for it

Once inside

Everything looked the same

So I went to bed

And cried some glass

Not that it can be noticed

But so it can be felt

Difficult to pinpoint

Once you're used to it

Your books about cities

Your signatures

Your tattered clothes

Yes, everything was still there

I have said one thing and meant another

I too have lied

I have said one thing and meant another

This is the punishment for it

I dreamed about Alice

I dreamed that you were friends

I thought those kind of friends

That we once were

With shut eyes you'll see the truth

As we live we will hide it

When I wake you

You're here again

I have said one thing and meant another

I too have lied

I have said one thing and meant another

This is the punishment for it

I have said one thing and meant another

I too have lied

I have said one thing and meant another

This is the punishment for it
