Watching paper cups of coffee
Growing cold before my eyes
All the things I see
That make me realize
I`m in this big world without you
Nothing to my name
I never knew that
Blue sky meant such pain
I`m dying to be different
In the coffee shop
I`ve lived on borrowed strength
Now my supplies are cut
Though i`m older than my looks
And older than my years
I`m too young to take on
My deepest fears
Oh, I used to be confused
But now I just don`t know

from "The Blue Sky" by a-Ha
