First Aid Kit - King of the World

First Aid Kit - King of the World 

At ten in the morning 

I was laughing at something 

At the airport terminal 

At nine in the evening 

I was sitting crying to you over the phone 

Well passing the border from a state to another 

Filled with people whom I couldn't help to relate to 

And we stopped a while at a roadside restaurant 

Where the waitress was sitting outside smoking in her car 

She had that look of total fear in her eyes 

And as we drove away from there she looked at me and 

She smiled 

I keep running around 

Trying to find the ground 

But my head is in the stars 

And my feet are in the sky 

Well I'm nobody's baby 

I'm everybody's girl 

I'm the queen of nothing 

I'm the king of the world 

And once you asked me well what's my biggest fear 

That things would always remain so unclear 

That one day I'd wake up all alone 

With a big family and emptiness deep in my bones 

That I would be so blinded, turn a deaf ear 

And that my fake laugh would suddenly sound sincere 

Now I wasn't born for anything 

Wasn't born to say anything 

Oh I'm just here now and soon I'll be gone 

I'm nobody's baby 

I'm everybody's girl 

I'm the queen of nothing 

I'm the king of the world 

Now everyday there's a short intermission 

While I sleep they start dimming the lights 

But I've seen everything I ever want to see 

Screaming "Fire!" in a theater people taking their seats 

Watch it all go down like a stone in a stream 

If you fall for your reflection you will drown in a dream 

Tell me something real 

Tell me something true 

I just want to feel there's something left that I can do 

But I'm nobody's baby 

I'm everybody's girl 

I'm the queen of nothing 

I'm the king of the world
