How Things Turned Out to be

Lily says she's in love with me today 
I say “you stabbed my heart in a positive way 
I don't know which way to look” 
She says “I like the stupid and funny smile on your face” 
I say “I smile because I'm here with you 
I smile because you smile too” 
and she says “Tell me about your journey from burning hell 
to smile and laughter” 

Could have been working with computers 
Could have been where IT's at 
Could have been struggling with costumers 
and sent an invoice on ten thousand dollars or more 
I've could have gone to school that day 
when I decided not to go to school no more 
Could have been able to pay my bills 
but this was so much worth to me 

To tell some jokes, to sing some songs 
To deliver the poems about Pablo and Lily 
To deliver the lines that you can relate to 
To close my eyes and disappear 

So raise your hand if you agree with me 
when I'm saying I'm so happy how things turned out to be 
So raise your voice and sing along with me 
when I'm singing I'm so happy how things turned out to be 
How things turned out to be 

Some people say I'm pretentious 
Some people say I'm the cure for their fever 
Some people say that I can't speak English 
The Americans say “Come to the States!” 
“Come to the States and sing for us 
Let your American buddies deicide where you should go 
Come to the States and tell us your stories 
Leave the Swedish journalists behind”
