[Verse 1]
Summer nights ain't what they used to be
Plastic flowers on the maypole, can't you see?
The old dance hall's got fresh paint on the wall
But nobody comes here anymore at all
[Chorus]
Dance with me one last time
Before the heat takes what was mine
They say nothing's wrong, keep dancing along
But we're running out of borrowed time
[Verse 2]
Remember when the fields were green in June?
Now they're brown before the midsummer moon
The elders smile and pretend it's okay
While traditions fade and young folks move away
[Bridge]
In Örebro, the festivals go on
With their shiny lights and pre-recorded songs
The accordion plays our parents' favorite tune
But the magic died too soon, too soon
[Chorus]
Dance with me one last time
Before the heat takes what was mine
They say nothing's wrong, keep dancing along
But we're running out of borrowed time
[Verse 3]
The old folks say "it's just another year"
While they dance and drink their overpriced beer
But I see through their masquerade tonight
These hollow rituals in fading light
[Outro]
So hold me close in this empty hall
Where memories echo off the wall
One final waltz as the world burns bright
In the Swedish summer night
