Lyrics
Mexico City
written by Kalee Smyth
Drivin’ ‘round the square with the windows down
Takin' in all the colors while we’re goin’ ‘round
Why couldn’t all the days feel like this one/It’s easy to
Love like the beginning, when you know it’s the end
If I’d known it'd be the last time I felt so free
I never would have left Mexico City
I watched you walk away with a tear in my eye
Knowing you’d never again be mine
Clutching my bag of airport souvenirs
All that remained after all those years
If I’d known it'd be the last time I felt so free
I never would have left Mexico City
Time to move on/the truth will tell
I wasn’t runnin’ from you/I was runnin' from myself
I guess I was too young, like you always said
To appreciate the good thing we had
But if I’d known it'd be the last time I felt so free
I never would have left Mexico City
I never would've left you
