We broke the doorknob off of the door The door swung open easily We sauntered into the poorly lit store and looked around lazily We stole every bit of candy they had inside Gobbled it all up greedily on our 3 month ride I'm gonna miss you when you're gone I'm gonna miss you when you're gone You headed out to the getaway car And hit the open road I saw something written in tall clear letters on your face but I could not break the code We had hot caramel sticking to our teeth and the only love I've ever known burning underneath I'm gonna miss you when you're gone I'm gonna miss you when you're gone I'm gonna miss you when you're gone I'm gonna miss you when you're gone

The Recognition Scene (Sweden, 1995)
We broke the doorknob off of the door The door swung open easily We sauntered into the poorly lit store and looked around lazily We stole every bit of candy they had inside Gobbled it all up greedily on our 3 month ride I'm gonna miss you when you're gone I'm gonna miss you when you're gone You headed out to the getaway car And hit the open road I saw something written in tall clear letters on your face but I could not break the code We had hot caramel sticking to our teeth and the only love I've ever known burning underneath I'm gonna miss you when you're gone I'm gonna miss you when you're gone I'm gonna miss you when you're gone I'm gonna miss you when you're gone
