The Film I’d Like To See - Josefin Nilsson

Time’s running out

Now it’s my turn

I know how hard he’s tried

And every time

His elbow touches mine

I feel a pleasant jolt

But I am petrified

This is my stop

How about you

Once more that gentle smile

And as I see him

Pressing down the aisle

And leaving me behind

I have an image in my mind

My head is light

My heart has wings

As in a trance, I grab my things

Please let me through

Please let me off this train

Now that I’m free

That is the film I’d like to see

I’m at the door and I descend

This is the start, this is the end

And he’s there

Waiting in the rain

Only for me

That is the film I’d like to see

I curse the meek coward I am

So safe to sit and wait

Biding my time, avoid decision now

And finding all too often

It’s a touch too late

And now I see him

Walking past my window

Halting his steps, I knew he would

Turning around, a sadness in his face

He looks at me and then

I see the image once again

My head is light

My heart has wings

As in a trance, I grab my things

Please let me through

Please let me off this train

Now that I’m free

That is the film I’d like to see

I’m at the door and I descend

This is the start, this is the end

And he’s there

Waiting in the rain

Only for me

Seeing me as I am (Seeing me as I am)

And who I want to be

(And who I want to be)

That is the miracle (That is the miracle)

That is the film I’d like to see
