Tag Mig Væk [English translation]

Yeah!

And they said I was a dreamer

I heard them say

Yeah, I heard them say

There's something wrong with that boy

Look at him, he's got his head in the clouds

Yeah, there's light in the apartment, but I don't think anyone's there

He's totally gone into his daydreams, it's not normal

There's no respect for authority, and he's also socially awkward

How should we reach him?

If we send him out on the playground

He's always in fights, far to many for us to do something about it

So my teachers gave up on me and said "He doesn't fit in here"

It was in the school yard I developed

But if I as a child hadn't felt like a little alien

I might never have learned to ignore the voice of a hater

I might never have fought

Never found my courage to go out in the world and say "See, I've got ideas in my head"

I might not have become a fight, I might never have dared

To risk everything with Joey, end up on tour with Nick and Jay

If I wasn't the same dreamer I am today

The child who looked up on the sky and said:

Do you think there might be life somewhere out there?

Do you think they know about love?

I don't think I'll be happy here

Hey star, there's got to be more

Take me out below your shooting stars

Take me where I can fly again

Take me away, anywhere, as long as it isn't here

Hey star, there's got to be more

They could say whatever they wanted

I was so done with trying to fit in

Shit, I learned to fight at a young age

Fuck turning the other cheek

Found something I was good at, and then I became the best one

I learned to be different

It cost me some beatings

but because I survived when they pulled that knife on me

It has made smart enough to write these tracks

Because I know that the game of life can end in one move

So I know there's no time for fear or stage fright

Yeah, I've always been a freak

And seen the world in words

Until the day I received that call from Seebach and his brother1

It made my future a whole lot easier

The fucking history of Denmark - and the story carries on

But I reinvented a genre - the beats came from Burhan2

Now-now-now there is sold out in every city on my tour plan

Just because I was a dreamer and still am today

The boy who looked up at the sky and said:

Do you think there might be life somewhere out there?

Do you think they know about love?

I don't think I'll be happy here

Hey star, there's got to be more

Take me out below your shooting stars

Take me where I can fly again

Take me away, anywhere, as long as it isn't here

Hey star, there's got to be more

Hey star

In the distance

Hey star

Hey star, there's got to be more

Take me out below your shooting stars

Take me where I can fly again

Take me away, anywhere, as long as it isn't here

Hey star, there's got to be more

Dedicated to all the freaks out there

Those who dream

In the back of the bus, in the back of the classroom

Us who say: Hey star, there's got to be more!
