When I Grow Up Songtext
von First Aid Kit

When I grow up, I want to be a forester
Run through the moss on high heels
That′s what I'll do, throwin′ out a boomerang
Waiting for it to come back to me

When I grow up, I want to live near the sea
Crab claws and bottles of rum
That's what I'll have, starin′ at the seashell
Waitin′ for it to embrace me

Oh-oh
Oh-oh
Oh

I put my soul in what I do
Last night I drew a funny man
With dark eyes and a hanging tongue
It goes way bad, I never liked that sad look
From someone who wants to be loved by you

Oh-oh
Oh-oh
Oh


I'm very good with plants
When my friends are away
They let me keep the soil moist
On the seventh day I rest
For a minute or two
Then back on my feet
To call for you

Oh-oh
Oh-oh
Oh-oh, oh
Oh, oh-oh, oh

Ooh
Ooh
Ooh

You′ve got cucumbers on your eyes
Too much time spent on nothin'
Waiting for a moment to rise
Face in the ceilin′ and arms too long
I'm waiting for him to catch me

Oh-oh
Oh-oh
Oh, oh
