FANGO

I smell the salt coming in through the window
The sea dragged my years away and now I’m feeling low

I won’t be everything I always hoped to be
I just work so I can finally rest, you see

And if nothing in life seems to work out right
What’s the point of playing this game tonight?

Thinking back on how it all used to be
Even though sometimes it hurts me

What was that feeling flowing through me
When my skin touched the sand by the sea?

That nostalgia cut deep inside
And it hurt me so much, I can’t hide

All I want is to be happy
I wish I could be a kid, but I can’t be

But I can’t be

Everything will stay
Etched in the ground
Where I once walked
And I’ll never know
If my kid will walk there too

Thinking back on who I used to be
Even though sometimes it hurts me

What were the nights like here?
Feeling the mud instead of sand, oh dear

That nostalgia cut deep inside
And it hurt me so much, I can’t hide

All I want is to be happy
I wish I could be a kid, but I can’t be

Get me out of here
'Cause all I want is to be happy

Faking being grown since preschool

Playing at being older
Now I just want to play, that’s all.
