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
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
