Mando Diao – The Wildfire (If It Was True) lyrics

Well there's something in the way
She said I hate you 'cause you breathe
It's not the first time that I heard it
But this one is out of reach
I got my mind set on destruction
And if it'll strike me hard
Will you remember me?

Oh it's in the way you set your life
On your alarm and hit the snoozer
You waste your life expectancy
You throw away your hopes and dreams
The night will never end, it'll stay forever
Well the dark will eat you up inside

So I smile and shed a tear
And said when will you go away
She said who cares?
You're not entitled to ask those things today
Don't let the salt get in your eye
Don't let the ghost get in your heart
There were sweet memories
In the corner of my mind
They were telling me to throw up
All the things that I wanna hide that

And we're having fun in the daytime
We'll chase the stars in the nighttime
And we'll take the sun in the morning
We just don't care if they see us fall
If it was true

Well today I bought the paper by myself and cried
Cause everyone was happy
And on the streets well they where dancing
To some kind of Puerto Rican music that we would hate
But we would just move along to

So if you're driving in your car
And hear this song on radio1
Well I know that it sounds silly
Cause you don't have a car
But I just read it in a book
That these things happen in the fictive world

That's when I smile and shed a tear
And said when will you go away
She said who cares?
You're not entitled to ask those things today
Don't let the salt get in your eye
Don't let the ghost get in your heart
There were sweet memories
In the corner of my mind
They were telling me to throw up
All the things that I want to hide

And we're having fun in the daytime
We'll chase the stars in the nighttime
And we'll take the sun in the morning
We just don't care if they see us fall
Just don't care
Just don't care at all
If it was true

Well there is something in the air
That makes it difficult to live
The way we lived back in the days
When we had all the time to kill
It's just the wildfire burning
There's no way to put it out
Just a wildfire spreading
Through my days and throug my nights
Don't ask no questions
Don't ever tell no lie
I'm so tired of explaining
Every minor detail of my life

We're having fun in the daytime
And we'll chase the stars in the nighttime
And we'll catch the sun in the morning
And wee just don't care if they see us fall
We're having fun in the daytime
We'll chase the stars in the nighttime
And we'll catch the sun in the morning
And we just don't care if they see us fall
Just don't care
Just don't care at all
If it was true
