Song Words by Artist / Band : Fever Ray
Lyrics Title : When I Grow Up
Available on Album : Fever Ray
Music Genre : Indie

When I grow up, I want to be a forester
Run through the moss on high heels
That’s what I’ll do, throwing out a boomerang
Waiting for it to come back to me

When I grow up, I want to live near the sea
Crab claws and bottles of rum
That’s what I’ll have, staring at the seashell
Waiting for it to embrace me

I put my soul in what I do
Last night I drew a funny man
with dark eyes and a hanging tongue
It goes way bad, I never liked a sad look
From someone who wants to be loved by you

You’ve got cucumbers on your eyes
Too much time spent on nothing
waiting for a moment to arise
The face in the ceiling and arms too long
I’m waiting for him to catch me

Music…

Waiting for you to embrace me…oooh oh

~~~

On CD this couplet extra

I’m very good with plants
When my friends are away
they let me keep the soil moist
On the seventh day I rest
for a minute or two
then back on my feet and cry for you oooh oh

Music

Waiting for you to embrace me…oooh oh
