Jaqe - En på Miljonen

Translated as: Jaqe - One in a Million

First date, holding hands, going home, Follow through, first kiss, next time i'll follow you Thought you were going to fall but instead I fell Thought I'd stopped falling but I drowned in your eyes(and all that) It was in the bar, don't know if you remember but I looked at you and said you’re eyes were something special I asked what it meant, you said you didn't know That was the last thing I said that night before you had to go Can't always get what you want But we could have it for a moment, we could've pretended a bit more I know we will never be, but if something's pretty you can hope that there will if you just pretend Surely? I'm so naive when it comes to relations So much emotions, hard to know what to think And I'm that type that falls for the wrong people But it could work baby, one in a million.

(Chorus) And I thought it should be we, flowers and bees But everything seems to hurt, just keeps spinning I love, and I know that you love, to do the opposite of what is expected

It's like watching the worlds most beautiful sunrise Feels like the horizon is only 500 meters away Trying to be poetic, and to give it some meaning But everything feels cliché, nothing lasts forever They say that time will heal you see, many fishes in the sea Nothing's that simple, Many’s fishing in the sea and somebody's going to catch you, tuck you in and take you away, Give you everything, marry you and never regret Shit.. this town feels too small, And now it feels even smaller when I know that you’re here Having troubles thinking straight, I was focused on the music I thought I heard your voice and I see you everywhere Yeah, why do we want what we can't have? And when you got it, it's something that you won’t choose Nothing happened but I wanted to believe it That it could actually work, like one in a million.

(Chorus) And I thought it should be we, flowers and bees But everything seems to hurt, just keeps spinning I love, and I know that you love, to do the opposite of what is expected

I did a rough translation of these lyrics to English and the title would be something like “Am I Right” (Original Swedish lyrics on Genius: http://genius.com/Parham-eller-hur-lyrics )

I actually did this for fun, lol.

Parham - Eller Hur

From the album “Hemma Här”  (© 2016 Playground Music Scandinavia AB).

You like the buzz of the big city, am I right? Talking ‘bout who’s done what, am I right? Usually hangin’ in the south, am I right? As often as in Gothenburg, am I right? As if everything is ballin, ‘all-in I like life to be risky (yeah right) No limits are set, this I get And you got lost with your dad, that’s fucked up. We’re drunk again, going home with somebody Always stuck in some kind of fuddle, it starts again DJ! Pull-up again! Let it never end! It’s wack to be alone, am I right? I recon that feeling, it’s horrible as hell Don’t want to get old, am I right? We freeze the time and never land, oh Next weekend; on to the next thing I can be your best friend for this evenin’. Empty the bottle ‘til they clear the room, Empty promises of big plans, Saying things like: “when are we gonna get married?”, When we go crazy on shit that taints us (yeah) But I swear it’s only physical, we’re so stereotypical, am I right?

Makes me, feel good, and bad, at the same time We can forsee, some other time, I think we’ve gone too far, am I right? Did it all, Seen it all, And it’s so beautiful, am I right? So beautiful, am I right? So beautiful, am I right? So beautiful, am I right?

Adult children they wanna play, am I right? Loving merely on E, am I right? Love to trip, am I right? So we’re just buyin’ it, am I right? Especially with celebrities on afterparties on random hotel-rooftops during “Way out West” or Morning hours in an underground club, Hot like a sauna, into the room to split the shit, Cocain-race and a couple of beers, Let this line hold longer the bathroom-line, We’re dancing on Devil’s ground, Boosting my ego more than drugs. How long we gonna do this for? Act like we like it, like we just want more (am I right?) I mixed too much, must come down Too loud to talk, Took an Uber in time for the Molly to kick in. And it was me and you. Hard to sleep, Hate to wake up with daily regrets, I’m cautious, But I’m still waiting for life to really happen (yeah), But I swear it’s only physical, we’re so stereotypical, am I right?

Makes me, feel good, and bad, at the same time We can forsee, some other time, I think we have gone too far off, am I right? did it all, seen it all, And it’s so beautiful, am I right? So beautiful, am I right? So beautiful, am I right? So beautiful, am I right?
