Lyrics

Translation
Bilingual
We camped out beside the quarry
And the trees did hide
Our adolescent bodies
From our parents and the world
And though not quite alone
Found peace in the unknown
And we told stories of
The girls we loved
And what we had outgrown
Felled a sycamore
So we could learn
How all great things
Are destined to be turned to smoke
And breathed into our lungs
And I could just be me
And he could just be free
From being under the influence
How different
Our lives used to be
Seldom do I think about him now
But there's no way I'm forgetting
Hoping that I never will allow
To waste myself
Now I'm regretting
All the choices I have ever made
That lead me to compromise
A life that really isn't mine to trade
How am I supposed to empathise
He grew up too fast
Never did return
Never did I see him
And never would he know
That maybe I'd have saved
If only we had stayed
Camped out in the woodland
I know I shouldn't
But that's just how it goes
Seldom do I think about him now
But there's no way I'm forgetting
Hoping that I never will allow
To waste myself
Now I'm regretting
All the choices I have ever made
That lead me to compromise
A life that really isn't mine to trade
How am I supposed to empathise
Seldom do I think about him now
Hoping that I never will allow
All the choices I have ever made
A life that really isn't mine to trade
