Volver
Jon Dee Graham Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Anda todo alborotado por volver
Voy camino a la locura
Y aunque todo me tortura, sé querer
Nos dejamos hace tiempo
Pero si llegó el momento de perder
Tu tenías mucha razón
Y me muero por volver
Y volver, volver, volver
A tus brazos otra vez
Llegaré hasta donde estés
Yo sé perder, yo sé perder
Quiero volver, volver, volver
Nos dejamos hace tiempo
Pero si llegó el momento de perder
Tu tenías mucha razón
Le hago caso al corazón
Y me muero por volver
Y volver, volver, volver
A tus brazos otra vez
Llegaré hasta donde estés
Yo sé perder, yo sé perder
Quiero volver, volver, volver
