Boxes

As a child with ocean eyes I smiled
At a world existing just for me,
Without boxes, borders or boundaries
I built dreams,
But like plastic building blocks
They were knocked down the ground
I grew up
To a world of compromise
Analising what it means to dream
I don´t really wanna understand
Everything in my world
It spoils the fun for me
Come on darling you can take my hand
Blowing kisses in the wind
We´ll fly away in our dreams
From the boxes they´ll put us in
Who shall we propose to be?
Who am I supposed to be?
With these empty building blocks
I could make a thousand me´s
I don´t really wanna understand
Everything in my world
It spoils the fun for me
Come on darling you can take my hand
Blowing kisses in the wind
We´ll fly away in our dreams
From the boxes they´ll put us in
And I´m told we all fit in
But why should I belong to one thing?
Who shall we propose to be?
Who I am supposed to be?
With these plastic building blocks
I could make a thousand me´s
I don´t really wanna understand
Everything in my world
It spoils the fun for me
Come on darling you can take my hand
Blowing kisses in the wind
We´ll fly away in our dreams
From the boxes they´ll put us in.
At a world existing just for me,
Without boxes, borders or boundaries
I built dreams,
But like plastic building blocks
They were knocked down the ground
I grew up
To a world of compromise
Analising what it means to dream
I don´t really wanna understand
Everything in my world
It spoils the fun for me
Come on darling you can take my hand
Blowing kisses in the wind
We´ll fly away in our dreams
From the boxes they´ll put us in
Who shall we propose to be?
Who am I supposed to be?
With these empty building blocks
I could make a thousand me´s
I don´t really wanna understand
Everything in my world
It spoils the fun for me
Come on darling you can take my hand
Blowing kisses in the wind
We´ll fly away in our dreams
From the boxes they´ll put us in
And I´m told we all fit in
But why should I belong to one thing?
Who shall we propose to be?
Who I am supposed to be?
With these plastic building blocks
I could make a thousand me´s
I don´t really wanna understand
Everything in my world
It spoils the fun for me
Come on darling you can take my hand
Blowing kisses in the wind
We´ll fly away in our dreams
From the boxes they´ll put us in.
