Lyrics
What’s the word for what I feel
every summer cruising through the park
Every car adorned with the place we were before
The place that we come from
What’s the word for what I feel when a sliver of bandera flashes
tarnished silver older than the building
that I live in now, and can you tell me how
all the words for what I feel
rise like steam, an essence of who
I thought I’d be by now
Of what I’d see by now
What’s the word for what I feel
when I don’t know what kind of air I’m breathing
Breeze-like sorcery directs my feelings
about this dream
And what this version means
To the world that I feel
picking up the phone and understanding you
Somehow I can’t speak, it doesn’t come to me,
I wish there was a way
I thought someday it would hurt less
Direct address to myself in a mirror
Knee deep I try to dig deep, oracle
For proof that words are the only solace
I walked away and I learned less
I come correct to the mess in the mirror
Honesty never buried oracle
Its proof of life is the only solace
Quién dijo eso?
Que no sabes nada?
Quién dijo eso?
Que no sabes nada?
Quién dijo eso?
Que no sabes nada?
Quién dijo eso?
Que no sabes nada?
Quién dijo eso?
(What’s the word)
Que no sabes nada?
(What’s the word)
Quién dijo eso?
(What’s the word)
Que no sabes nada?
(What’s the word)
Quién dijo eso?
(What’s the word)
Que no sabes nada?
(What’s the word)
What’s the word for what I feel
every summer cruising through the park
Every car adorned with the place I was before
The place that I come from
Se fue la luz The power is out
but somehow it’s around you
one day you’ll feel
how warm it is
