  • That there is no resale value
    When your romance goes to hell you
    Better say farewell to what you thought was wealth

    Ever get the feeling
    That the paint has started peeling
    Are you staring at the ceiling of your castle
    Dreaming that you're someone else

    Would you like to meet me in this song
    (I've been hoping to)
    Would you like to come and prove me wrong
    (No, I'll agree with you)

    Golden teeth and silver medals
    Beautymarks and scars
    That is what we got

    Raindrops in a reservoir
    And minutes in a jar
    That is what we got

    Maybe if I had another drink
    I'd see the pattern in the blinking
    Of the traffic lights
    Do you think you're happy, Nicolai?

    I don't know the answer Nina
    Life is like a melody
    A pendulum that swings
    Between the major and the minor
    It's a lullaby

    I'm so glad I met you in this song
    (it's just a breath I'll throw)
    I'm so glad you're here to sing along
    (My voice into the flow)

    Golden teeth and silver medals
    Beautymarks and scars
    That is what we got

    Raindrops in a reservoir
    And minutes in a jar
    That is what we got

    I'm a little worried that the worst is yet to come
    I'm afraid they'll leave us out here
    Melting in the sun
    We'll be second best until we know we have won

    But until we do we'll sing this song
    (Til we know we've won)
    We'll sing until our need for it is gone
    (We'll be singing this song)

    Golden teeth and silver medals
    Beautymarks and scars
    That is what we got

    Raindrops in a reservoir
    And minutes in a jar
    That is what we got Writer/s: HENRIK KARL PERSSON, IMAN ESMAEILPOUR, JENS GUSTAF LANDEGREN
