[Verse 1]
I went down the road today
Just in the old way
And a black dog hobbled past me
His tags jangled on his collar

[Chorus]
It made me wish I was dead
It made me wish I was dead

[Verse 2]
Had a familiar sun on me
Just like it would always be
Rocky soil, dry land
I knew it all like the back of my hand

[Chorus]
It made me wish I was dead
It made me wish I was dead

[Bridge]
A terrific view form here, the sky's clear
The sun's high, I let things lie
And I know what is and isn't mine
And I was good to get back to the sunshine
[Outro]
But five years is a long time
And I spent five years in Sweden dying for you
I spent five years in Sweden dying for you
