Barcelona
George Ezra Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I still long to hold her once more, oh
My boots of leather
From Europe
I gather you know, know
Every time you have to go
Shut my eyes and you know
I'll be lying right by your side
In Barcelona
A native man sang in a foreign tongue
I still ache to know the song that he sung
Barcelona
Every time you have to go
Shut my eyes and you know
I'll be lying right by your side
In Barcelona
Every time you have to go
Shut my eyes and you know
I'll be lying right by your side
In Barcelona
Barcelona
Barcelona
Every time you have to go
I shut my mind and you know
I'll be lying right by your side
In Barcelona

Was lucky enough to be able to travel to Barcelona with my dad last week.
I've listened to this song for years, and walking the streets, seeing such a colourful and incredible place before my own eyes, felt like a privilege.
My parents travelled the world in their 20's. And I am slowly doing the same. I hope everyone here gets to experience that at some point in their lives.
