Mando Diao - The New Boy Lyrics

She was only twenty-one
But so much older than she's now
Now she passed the twenty-four
I guess it's time to say goodbye

Here's the new, here's the real
Here's the life you like to live
Now here's the new boy
Taking on the world tonight

When we met, she smelled like honey
When we kissed she tasted tears
Then for fourteen thousand seconds
We made love behind old fears

Here's the new, here's the real
Here's the life you wished you lived
Now here's the new boy
Taking on the world tonight

Take the words on your way
I don't waste the things I say
When in doubt, fuck the world
Forget all the things you've heard
Now here's the new boy
Taking on the world tonight, no

Why so sad? Don't you like my way of life?
I don't last forever, neither do the things we love
You are wise, this is now this is all the things I want
Everything around us is moving except time

She was only twenty-four
But so much younger than the past
We've laid all our troubles down
And now it's us against the rest

Here's the new, here's the real
Here's the life you like to live
Now here's the new boy
Taking on the world tonight

Take the words on your way
I don't waste the things I say
When in doubt, fuck the world
Forget all the things you've heard
Now here's the new boy
Taking on the world tonight, no
