London
Benjamin Dunn Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Let's just move to London
Let's just go to Spain
Let's go on to Portugal
Where it doesn't rain

Let's just move to London
Let's just go to Spain
Let's go on to Portugal
Where it doesn't rain

Let's get lost in Paris
We can take the train
Then we'll go to Portugal
Where it doesn't rain

Cause I would go anywhere
I would go anywhere
With you

Let's live in Vienna
We could change our names
Let's hide away in Mexico
And get away from the rain

Let's go to California
We could take a plane
Let's live out on the ocean
I don't care if it rains

Cause I would go anywhere
I would go anywhere
I wanna go anywhere




Let's just go anywhere
Go with you, just with you

This is some great guitar playing! Also one of my favorite songs. Too bad Benjamin Dunn stopped selling his old music.
