Lyrics of Somewhere In Stockholm by Avicii

verse

That's me right there on the corner
Listening to Wu in my Walkman
Neon lights hit the water
Reflecting the city I'm lost in
That's me right there on the corner
I, one day, would be leaving
For a dream that I didn't have
That I'd one day would believe in
Strange how the same place I ran from
Is the same place I think of whenever the chance comes
It's inevitable 'cause wherever I go

chorus

I hear echoes of a thousand screams
As I lay me down to sleep
There's a black hole deep inside of me
Reminding me
That I lost my backbone
Somewhere in Stockholm
I lost my backbone
Somewhere in Stockholm

verse

I'm from a place where we never
Openly show our emotions
We drown our sorrows in bottomless bottles
And leave them to float in the ocean
I'm from a place where we never
Seperate people from people
Some generalize, but in general I still believe that we are treated as equals

verse

My father, my mother, my sister, my brother
My friends and my family's there
My hope, and my money, my innocence in a sense
Almost lost everything here
Right where I was founded
Is right where I'll be found dead
These streets are my backbone
Until I get back home

chorus

I hear echoes of a thousand screams
As I lay me down to sleep
There's a black hole deep inside of me
Reminding me
That I lost my backbone
Somewhere in Stockholm
I lost my backbone
Somewhere in Stockholm

verse

I'm not alone, I am the fire that burns
Not in the city, but out in the burbs
A river that's dying of thirst
I am a reverend lying in church
A crack in the pattern
A miracle waiting to happen
A promise that never was kept
One of those moments you'll never forget

verse

I am that feeling inside
The one we all know but can't really describe
I am the blood spill, but I'm in love still
(Somewhere in Stockholm) but I'm not alone
Don't have to get by on my own
I'm finally home
Hemma i Stockholm
(Där jag hör hemma)

chorus

I hear echoes of a thousand screams
As I lay me down to sleep
There's a black hole deep inside of me
Reminding me
That I lost my backbone
Somewhere in Stockholm
I lost my backbone
Somewhere in Stockholm
