My bike takes me places school never could

from At night I still sneak out (2007​-​2014) by Jonas Selander

about

This song was written with my good friend Rasmus Lundgren. It's about a little girl trying to live her life despite of school.

lyrics

A C#m D E
Oh yesterday all my troubles seemed so far away
but today I'm in school and it fucking sucks, 'cause it's monday
and the teacher says bla bla bla bla bla...
and I'm looking out the window
and the sun is shining out there
and the rabbits are all jumping around
playing with each other in the greens

And I just wanna run, bla bla bla
and I just wanna jump around
and I just wanna have fun
riding my bike in the sun

And I ride it past the football field
past the pond in the green where the ducks lure and scheme
and yes I ride it past the factory where daddy used to work
before he got a better job in the city
And I ride it 'round and 'round and up and down the hill
and I ride it past the cancer hospital
where the sun is shining through the windows

And I just wanna run, bla bla bla
and I just wanna jump around
and I just wanna have fun
riding my bike in the sun

Instead of sitting here inside on a monday,
on a tuesday, on a wednesday
I'm writing on my bench by thursday
How would you think that I would feel on a friday?

Who gives a crap about math?
When I love you and you love me
and who gives a shit about history
well there's no history where I now be
and who needs biology?
Not the birds nor the flowers nor the little bee
and in none of them books that they let me read
there's a description of the way that I feel

And I just wanna run, bla bla bla
and I just wanna jump around
and I just wanna have fun
riding my bike in the sun
