Six AM, this orange haze, bleary in the morning light

No-one uses paper these days, but all I seem to do is write

On a night that could swallow you whole

On a street that reminds you of home

In a language you don’t understand

Making sense where I normally can’t

 

I lost that tuesday

I didn’t go home

I missed the last flight

From Barcelona

 

A warning sign, begins to flash, saying quit now while you’re ahead

But even then, I just can’t stop, repeating the same thoughts instead

'Cause you want all the things you can see

Close your eyes now and let yourself be

As the moon is reflecting the sun

And your face can be found in someone

 

I lost that tuesday

I didn’t go home

I missed the last flight

From Barcelona
