lyrics

I only want to die in the spring time
When everything has finally been fixed
You can plant a tree where my heart used to be
And in fall we can celebrate what's left

I never want to die in this tiny town
Where when it rains nothing moves at all
Every horizon looks best upside down
And everything feels very small

I never want to die in anybody's arms
I'm much much too proud to say goodbye
Just throw me on a train and throw the train into the ocean
The blue in the water
Just reflects the sky

I only want to die with my eyes wide
So I know I haven't missed a single thing
Directly I'll recall that the same summer my heart burst
Was the same summer I finally learned to sing

So sing
So sing
So sing for the astronauts
Who are pushing us out of our skin
Sing for the accidental mothers
Who are young and scared of everything
Sing for your future
Let's go everywhere
And sing for your ugly summer lover
He's doing his best I swear

You are prettier without him (x8)
