Kevin Heider - Barcelona

42 hours riding on buses and trains
Two of them were for sleeping
The other 40 for going insane
I was trying hard, trying to make my way
To meet some friends of mine
On the sunny side of Spain
Oh, but my plans were falling apart
And my wallet wasn’t getting me far
And I was sleeping on the ground
Just south of London town
Wondering, “what would my mother say
If she could see me now?”
Oh, Barcelona
How could I not have grown up
I made so many mistakes
But I still found you and you found me too
Oh, Barcelona
You were my Sharona
A love waiting to be gotten
But for some reason playing hard-to-get
Oh, Barcelona
I have heard it said
“If you seek, then you will find”
But what they never tell you is
Sometimes it takes some time
Oh, and I missed my aeroplane
And the trains kept running away
And I was lost and couldn’t get found
In some dirty old Spanish town
Wondering, “what would my mother say
If she could see me now?”
Oh, Barcelona
How could I not have grown up
I made so many mistakes
But I still found you and you found me too
Oh, Barcelona
You were my Sharona
A love waiting to be gotten
But for some reason playing hard-to-get
Oh, Barcelona
Oh, Barcelona
How could I have known that
Everything would go the way it’s gone?
And I feel like I haven’t slept in a year
And Pat is dancing like a girl
And Michael’s rolling on the floor
And I don’t know what’s going on around here
And yet I’ve never been so in love with a place before
And I’ve never had so much fun getting lost
As in Barcelona
How could I not have grown up?
I made so many mistakes
But I still found you and you found me too
Oh, Barcelona
You were my Sharona
A love waiting to be gotten
But for some reason playing hard-to-get
Oh, Barcelona
Oh, I was looking for love in Barcelona
I was looking for life in Barcelona
I was looking for a bed in Barcelona
I was looking for my friends in Barcelona
I was looking for the Spirit in Barcelona
I was looking for adventure in Barcelona
I was looking for the ocean in Barcelona
I was looking for the right train in Barcelona
I was looking for cathedrals in Barcelona
I was looking for myself in Barcelona
