Zurdok Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

He pasado por tanto lugar
Difícil recordar
Es lo mismo lo dije una vez
No importa dónde vas

Salí, luego me regresé
Casi me quedo solo

El tiempo se va me deja atrás
Sigo corriendo para esperar
El tiempo se va te deja atrás
Sigues corriendo para esperar

El momento que ya terminó
Camina hacia atrás
Es lo mismo, lo dije una vez
Lo vuelvo a repetir

Salí, luego me regresé
Casi me quedo solo

El tiempo se va, me deja atrás
Sigo corriendo, para esperar

El tiempo se va, te deja atrás
Sigues corriendo para esperar
