Barcelona, Baby Lyrics

Summer school on your bicycle, practicing Spanish while your feet pedal

In time with the terrible electronic music that's so popular with your friends

It plays at every party that we attend. And I hate to, but I'll dance with you to it

Cause it makes you smile in crowded apartments when I put all my focus on you

I would set myself on fire for you. I'd ingest anything that you asked me to

I'd walk the plank, the wire, to the ends with you. If it made you happy, I would make it work

But please don't go to Barcelona, baby, cause I know how this plays out

Us American boys get so bent out of shape about friends kissing friends on the mouth

North Cedar Street Festival, Mediterranean food, bicycle pedals, I'm in love with you

So I'm susceptible to these moments of optimism

So we walk down Cedar while the sun disappears. I'll be here getting a math ready

I failed last year. You're gonna miss me, it'll be hard. You made that clear when you

Kissed me in the airport

If it made you happy, I would make it work

But baby, please don't go to Barcelona, cause I know how this ends

I'll fail my summer class while you make handsome Spanish friends

I'll walk down Cedar Avenue. Notice that you've got home

There will be bands playing at the French Club. I will go there alone

And stand too close to the speakers until everything starts feeling okay

Leave whenever I'm ready, but I will go home a different way
