Barcelonaaa”

So much that I lacked, so much that I lacked

It’s something I hold, something I hold
I take it with me all the places I go
How little you know, how little you know”
Like real people do, by Hozier

Honey just put your sweet lips on my lips
We should just kiss like real people do”

Let your mother know you’re safe

We’ll have driven through the state
We’ll have driven through the night
Baby, come on”

Where the lights don’t move and the colors don’t fade
Leaves you empty with nothing but dreams
In a world gone shallow
In a world gone lean
But there is a truth and it’s on our side
Dawn is coming open your eyes
Look into the sun as a new days rise”
