Each morning I wake up
On the edge of my bed and
Little pictures of you just
Swim around in my head
And I'm still learning new words
In a language you spoke there
Calling my name through the dark
Here in Palomino
I'll be watching the sunrise
Washing over my body
Carry me far away
And I'll trip in slow motion
On the sands of Costeño
Counting the birds in the sky
Come back
And I wanna see it all
And I wanna see the world with you
Come back
And I wanna feel it all
And I wanna feel it all with you
Contigo, contigo
Out here on an island
Never thought that I'd wake up
From the sweetest of daydreams
For the rest of my days
And I'm lost but I'm grateful
For the things that I found there
Falling in love with the moon
Come back
And I wanna see it all
And I wanna see the world with you
Come back
And I wanna feel it all
And I wanna feel it all with you
Contigo, contigo
Contigo, contigo
(Daylight lost in the afternoon
Dónde fuiste, adónde vamos?
Daylight lost in the afternoon
Quiero estar contigo)
Contigo, contigo

Falling in love with the rain
On uncertain land
Facing a fading refrain
All that I had planned
Walking for miles through a maze
Under no command
We're gonna need some time
We're gonna need some time
We're gonna need some time
Until we're singing with the radio on
It reminds me that I'm never alone
Even when we're living in our own time zones
Whenever a light disappears
Out into the sea
Wherever my life reappears
Whatever we'll be
Deep in my heart I do believe
Everyone's got to be free
We're gonna make it right
We're gonna make it right
We're gonna make it out alive together
With the radio on
It reminds me that I'm never alone
Even when we're living in our own time zones
Picking it up from the very first line and I'm
Speaking their names out from every location
Crossing the bridge for the rest of my days and
Singing with the radio
Pushing the weight to the top of that hill and I'm
Lifting their names up from every location
Keeping the fire for the rest of my life and
Singing with the radio on
Radio on
Radio on
Radio on

On the way
On the ways away
On the way
I ask for the meaning
But the answer's so far away
Better days
Better days ahead
So they say
I'd love to believe it
But that day's still so far away
Here to stay
No matter what you say
Whatsoever comes my way
Comes my way
No, I'm not gonna leave it
Cos this place is where I made my name
Say my name
On the way
On the ways away
On the way
I ask for the meaning
But your answer's so far
