Mexico Lyrics by Imaginary Cities

Temporary Resident

2011

(f) I had a match, but he had a lighter
(m) I had a flame, but she had a fire
(f) I was bright, but he was much brighter
(m)I was high, but she was the sky

(both voices)
Oh baby, I was bound for mexico
Oh baby, I was bound to let you go
Ha ha ha, la da da

I don't know much about Cinco de Mayo
I'm never sure what it's all about
But I say I want you and you don't believe me
You say you want me but I've got my doubts

Oh baby, I was bound for Mexico
Oh baby, I was bound to let you go

I had a match, but (he)she had a lighter
I had a flame, but (he)she had a fire
I was bright, but (he)she was much brighter
I was high, but (he)she was the sky

Oh baby, I was bound for Mexico
Oh baby, I was bound to let you go
