lyrics

-- Lyrics --

Sing to disappear like the whole world’s gone missing
Like a whisper in your ear, it’s telling you where you’re going
For the strangers that make it so sweet
Walk down your favourite street
Sing for the lost and found
That keeps you company while you wander around

Disappear so no one can hear
Dance like the world’s not watching
Somehow the streets they know your name
Where the words grow on walls like wildflowers

And the air tastes like sugar from the concrete’s fever
To the voice that helped you wander
You’re happy to go blind
Staring at the sun through someone else’s eyes

Para os perdidos e achados
Para as memórias que teimam em voltar
Canta para quem quer saber
Mesmo quando o mundo não está a ver

Canto de uma saudade
Um murmúrio na tua pele
A melodia por onde vais

Disappear so no one can hear
Dance like the world’s not watching
Somehow the streets they know your name
