Verse 1
My pale cheek is black with makeup
Hear the whole house sleeping soundly
There's nothing I need
That's somewhere else
I could die now
With my cheek against your neck
Prechorus 1
I get out of our bed
Leaving you sleeping, my friend
I sneak across the floor
See the sun coming up
And in that moment I know
That everything has an end
Chorus 1
Everything's too good now
Walking around in a t-shirt and tired
Sitting on the piano among bottles, glasses, and butts
Closing my eyes 'til I glimpse happiness and I know
That everything's too good now
Everything's good now
Verse 2
The party died a long time ago
The couch has become a bed
I borrow someone's size 45 boots
Walk out the door
And there's the summer
Someone's still sleeping in the grass
Looks pretty uncomfortable though
I snap a few pictures
And laugh to myself
Prechorus 2
And in that moment I know
That everything has an end
Everything's too good now
Chorus 2
Walking around in a t-shirt and tired
Sitting on the piano among bottles, glasses, and butts
Closing my eyes 'til I glimpse happiness and I know
That everything's too good now
Everything's good now
Chorus 3
Everything's too good now
Walking around in a t-shirt and tired
Sitting on the piano among bottles, glasses, and butts
Closing my eyes 'til I glimpse happiness
Outro
Everything's too good now
Walking around in a t-shirt and tired
Sitting on the piano among bottles, glasses, and butts
Closing my eyes 'til I glimpse happiness and I know
Everything's too good now
Everything's good now

skymtarcatch a glimpse / glimpse

Skymtar comes from the verb att skymta, which means to catch a brief, half-hidden glimpse of something. It describes seeing something just for a moment, often indistinctly, like a fleeting image.

In the song, the singer "blundar tills jag skymtar lyckan" (closes her eyes until she glimpses happiness), using skymtar in a poetic way to express how happiness appears only briefly and delicately, almost like a vision. It is a vivid, emotional word that goes beyond simple “seeing.”

Ever been at the end of a great party, when the sun is coming up and everything feels perfect? That's the exact feeling Veronica Maggio and Håkan Hellström capture in "Hela Huset," which means "The Whole House."

The song describes a beautiful, quiet moment after a wild night. The singer is surrounded by the messy remains of the party—bottles, glasses, and even a friend sleeping on the grass outside! They feel so happy and content in this moment, especially with a special someone, that it feels like nothing else in the world matters. It's a feeling of pure bliss.

But there's a twist. The happiness is so intense that it brings a bittersweet thought: "Allt är för bra nu" or "Everything is too good now." It's the sad but true realization that perfect moments can't last forever. The song beautifully captures that fragile, fleeting feeling of knowing you're in the middle of a memory you'll cherish long after it's over.
