Janne Pahlsonn - Miami Shadows Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Dancing in Miami, white linen and champagne
Playing out my freedom from Stockholm's autumn rain
Left my Volvo back home, traded suits for swimming trunks
But deep inside I know, this ain't what it seems

[Chorus]
Vi dansar på stranden (We're dancing on the beach)
Pretending we're free
But we're still the same Svenssons
Just by a different sea
Oh, this American dream
Is just Swedish make-believe

[Verse 2]
Taking selfies by the pool, hashtag living life
Back home they'll think I'm cool, worth the sacrifice
Drinking piña coladas, speaking broken English now
But my accent gives me away, somehow

[Bridge]
Left the snow and darkness
For this plastic paradise
Trading meatballs for mojitos
Still can't shake the ice

[Chorus]
Vi dansar på stranden
Pretending we're free
But we're still the same Svenssons
Just by a different sea
Oh, this American dream
Is just Swedish make-believe

[Verse 3]
Monday morning comes too soon, back to Arlanda's gates
Trading palm trees for pine trees, that's our Swedish fate
But I'll show them all my photos, tell them 'bout my escape
While deep inside I know, it's all fake

[Outro]
Vi dansar på stranden (One last time)
Till verkligheten tar slut (Until reality ends)
Just another Svensson
Playing dress-up in the sun
