Oviedo

The thrill here is quicker than you'd think

The way some jet-lagged bar kept pouring the wine

From over their heads, then, sit back down again

Four times is once too much for luck

That's how many times the clock struck

I wandered home, saying your name

The arches here were built, 'cause they don't fall

The cathedrals to make you feel small

You might find your small soul

Leave the preaching to the president

The crowd cheers, his eyes get wet

I'm full as it is, I'm full as it is

So don't feed me more

You'll be having my head, big as a birthday

'Cause I left all my doubts on the airplane

I didn't know, I didn't know I'm not in control

I didn't know, I'm not invincible

And maybe some things are better left unsaid

But if you wanted to test that, I will, yeah, I guess, I could've said

But there were nights in bars that I recall

Your breath was courage laced with alcohol

You leaned in, you said

"Make music with the chatter in here

And whisper all the notes in my ears"

I didn't know, I didn't know the way of my tongue

I didn't know, I didn't know what I'd done

The lights here are softer than you'd think

The dim lit peacocks in the trees

They're hiding their eyes and their beauty, like me

But if my eyes were on my back

I know what I'd be looking at

Through every shade of brown and green

I didn't know, I didn't know it was nothing new

I didn't know, I didn't know it was you
