You’ve told me a thousand times
Not to text you at night when I come back
I can lie to you, what harm does it do
While you dance among the shadows
With a diamond veil on your forehead
You smile at me and then you go away
And I follow you for a moment like a thought
Where you hide yourself if your empire falls
Tell me what you want to forget
The moon cuts the sky vertically
Tonight we’re two shards of glass
You stay on lips like a secret
And I never told you how to love
And you never told me how to do it
How do you do it, meeting each other in another city?
If I lose myself tonight come look for me
We’ll dance in the dark like moths
Under the pale blue moon of Colombia
With the wind that plays a cumbia1
Now I’ve got nothing to lose
Now that you’re with me tonight, in the summer rain or under the sun
Take me away, I don’t care where
Take me away, I don’t care where
Take me away, I don’t care
Yeah I’ve been waiting for you all day
And I don’t want you to know
I hear the door knock
Gonna keep you here with me
Working 9 to 5
Gonna dance around you my way
Come on let me lead you on
It’s all a frenzy, it’s a really bad idea
But I pull you in like I’m a tornado
Baby we can stay here if we just lay low
Know you can’t avoid me when I’m calling
Yeah, you can’t avoid me when I’m calling
Tonight we’re two shards of glass
You stay on lips like a secret
And I never told you how to love
And you never told me how to do it
How do you do it, meeting each other in another city?
If I lose myself tonight come look for me
We’ll dance in the dark like moths
Under the pale blue moon of Colombia
With the wind that plays a cumbia
Now I’ve got nothing to lose
Now that you’re with me tonight, in the summer rain or under the sun
Take me away, I don’t care where
Take me away, I don’t care where
I was standing like that in a corner
You’ll run away like the others, but you, no
Just as long as you tell me where to run to
We can escape tonight, I want you
If I lose myself tonight come look for me
We’ll dance in the dark like moths
Under the pale blue moon of Colombia
With the wind that plays a cumbia
Now I’ve got nothing to lose
Now that you’re with me tonight, in the summer rain or under the sun
Take me away, I don’t care where
Take me away, I don’t care where
Take me away, I don’t care
