The New Boy Lyrics
She was only 21
But so much older than she's now
Now she passed the 24
I guess it's time to say goodbye
Here's the new
Here's the real
Here's the life you'd 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 14000 seconds
We made love behind old fears
Here's the new
Here's the real
Here's the life you you wished you'd 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 24
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'd 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...
But so much older than she's now
Now she passed the 24
I guess it's time to say goodbye
Here's the real
Here's the life you'd like to live
Now here's the new boy taking on the world tonight
She smelled like honey
When we kissed she tasted tears
Then for 14000 seconds
We made love behind old fears
Here's the real
Here's the life you you wished you'd lived
Now here's the new boy taking on the world tonight
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...
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
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 real
Here's the life you'd like to live
Now here's the new boy
Taking on the world tonight
When in doubt fuck the world
Forget all the things you've heard
Now here's the new boy taking on the world tonight

Gustaf wrote it and he said in an interview that the song was about a girl he met during their tour in the US. She ws abused and hit by her boyfriend but couldn't break up with him because she loved him so much. It depressed Gustaf to see that so he wrote the song to show how good it could have been with this girl and her boyfriend. He kind of made up another reality instead of getting sad about the real situation.
Okay..I love the song, but I don´t know exactly what it means... I don´t know why, but I think, that she died because of canzer...
