Mama cried, "Little daughter"
Disappointed when she caught her
Sneakin' out the window pane
End up at someone's party
Got too drunk and fucked somebody
Didn't even know his name
I grew a little older
Switched schools, it got colder
It's mostly grey in Stockholm city
Got into strangers' cars and
We'd go to secret bars and
Lie about my age to get in
So I walk myself down memory lane
I still hold on to all the joy and the pain
So I sing a little louder, get carried away
And I thank myself for who I became (mm)
Big dreams, confidence
Tryna make the world make sense
Who to trust and who to brush aside?
I think about 'em sometimes
All my friends who went on separate paths
Wish them all the best along the way
So I walk myself down memory lane
I still hold on to all the joy and the pain
So I sing a little louder, get carried away
And I thank myself for who I became (mm)
Wanna be the one to forgive
Be honest how I feel
Don't be too naive
But give second chances still
Push myself, but hold my hand
So I walk myself-
So I walk myself down memory lane
I still hold on to all the joy and the pain
So I sing a little louder, get carried away
And I thank myself for who I became (mm)
