[Verse 1]
In grandmother's kitchen, the coffee gets cold
While stories stay buried, some truths grow too old
Mother works late at the town hall again
Keeping secrets locked tight with her fountain pen
[Chorus]
Dance with me darling, pretend that you know
The weight of the silence from decades ago
Smile for the neighbors, keep secrets inside
While accordion music helps memories hide
[Verse 2]
Father won't speak of the choices they made
When summer nights darkened and values would fade
The papers are yellowed, the ink starts to blur
Those municipal stamps hide what really occurred
[Bridge]
Oh, sweet Stockholm summer, you mask it so well
Behind pretty flowers, there's stories to tell
But we keep on dancing, pretending we're fine
While ghosts from the past still stand in the line
[Verse 3]
The old men at Folkets still drink their dark brew
Discussing the weather, avoiding what's true
My dear uncle Magnus just shakes his tired head
"Some stories, dear boy, are better left unsaid"
[Chorus]
Dance with me darling, pretend that you know
The weight of the silence from decades ago
Smile for the neighbors, keep secrets inside
While accordion music helps memories hide
[Outro]
So pour me some coffee, let's dance one more round
While family portraits watch without making a sound
In this beautiful country of midnight sun gleams
We're dancing away from the truth of our dreams
