Stora plank & små staket [English translation]

It's okay to just lie down

and say "thanks and bye, I'll die now"

I can shut out whatever I want

and forget all that's toilsome

But I don't want to die

don't want to forget anything

Not leave someone out

I'm here, 'cause I want to

Even though the walls separate us

we want them as an excuse

And they stay put where they are

Only we can leave when we choose

Even though the walls separate us

we want them as an excuse

And they stay put where they are

Only we can leave when we choose

I escaped it all

but not dead or alive, like you

I gladly wanted to be your friend

put on your shirt, warm like you

My chest lets out a cry

and it's unusually weak

Could it be the force in our steps?

Something we share, but not between us?

Even though the walls separate us

we want them as an excuse

And they stay put where they are

Only we can leave when we choose

Even though the walls separate us

we want them as an excuse

And they stay put where they are

Only we can leave when we choose
