(B. Andersson / S. Anderson / B. Ulvaeus)

 

This park and these houses
old streets I have walked
everything dear
will it be here
one day when I am returning?

My friends will get married
have children and homes
It sounds so nice
well-planned and wise
never expecting surprises

I wonder
it’s frightening
Leaving now
is that the right thing?
I wonder
it scares me
But who the hell am I
if I don’t even try?
I’m not a coward
oh no, I’ll be strong -
one chance in a lifetime
yes, I will take it
it can’t go wrong

My friends and my family
this dull little town
buses I’ve missed
boys that I’ve kissed
everything old and familiar

I wonder…
