The Vapour Veils - Stockholm Lyrics

Was it all a lucid dream
An illusion of something clean
I used to lose myself in art
I used to lose my aching heart
Now I don't care anymore
I dream in colours, my life on film
Constant reminders of who I used to be
Scattered pictures and fading scenes
Of what was once a dream
And they mean nothing to me

I've been standing on the station for the last 16 years
Waiting for a train to come and take me away from here
And from a 2nd hand apartment I look back on my life
In a rented room in Stockholm the tears never dry
I know I've changed
I'm not the same anymore
I want, I need
To change my ways
Say it's not too late

Today's the oldest that I've ever been
And the youngest that I'll ever be again
I never felt so alone
I never felt so far from home
Like I did in Luleå
We walk through Old Town like lovers do
This world is dying and I turn to you
You comfort me with your smile
And I drown in your eyes
At least for a short while

I've been standing on the station for the last 16 years
Waiting for a train to come and take me away from here
From a 1 room apartment I look back on my life
In a rented room in Stockholm the tears never dry
I know, I need
To change my ways
Nina, please say
It's not too late
To change

Take me back to the future when the future was a dream
Take me back to the future when I was seventeen
Take me back to the future when life was like a film
Take me back to the future 'cause it's not what it used to be

I've been standing on the station for the last 16 years
Waiting for a train to come and take me away from here
And from a 2nd hand apartment I look back on my life
In a rented room in Stockholm the tears never dry
I know, I've changed
I'm not the same anymore
I know, I need
To change my ways
Say it's not too late
