Barcelona

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Spent the whole night talking 'til the sun came up
Had me feeling like I'd always known ya
And I knew I'd never get enough
You were heading back to California
I was kinda hoping you would miss your flight
Never thought that I'd be waiting for ya
No, I can't stop thinkin' about you, I'm thinkin' about you
Can't stop thinkin' about you, I'm thinkin' about you
Every night
How we gonna make it 'til the summer?
How we gonna hold on to the love we found?
Think about that beach in Barcelona
Call me crazy, but I need you now
I need you now
I need you (I need you)
I need you now
I need you (I need you)
I need you now
I need you (I need you)
I need you now
I need you (I need you)
I need you now
Met you on the beach in Barcelona
Spent the whole night talking 'til the sun came up
Had me feeling like I'd always known ya
And I knew I'd never get enough
No, I can't stop thinkin' about you, I'm thinkin' about you
Can't stop thinkin' about you, I'm thinkin' about you
Every night
How we gonna make it 'til the summer?
How we gonna hold on to the love we found?
Think about that beach in Barcelona
Call me crazy, but I need you now
I need you now
I need you (I need you)
I need you now
I need you (I need you)
I need you now
I need you (I need you)
I need you now
I need you (I need you)
I need you now
I need you (I need you)
I need you now
I need you (I need you)
I need you now
Think about that beach in Barcelona
Call me crazy, but I need you now
