Garota Lyrics

There is only so much juice
You can suck out of a fruit
And the colour changes fast
When an apple's cut in half
Every ladder ends somewhere
Better climb it's steps with care
Don't be the one who waits too long
Turns around and finds it gone

Choose the life you want to live
Give the love you want to give
Take the moment when it comes
Let it lead you, let it run

Feel the moisture in the air
Feel her fingers through your hair
Don't be shy when asking to
Be that way you were always meant to

You say that life is long
But you took the words
Out of my mind
Life is long and the world is small
Our paths will cross some other time

Given shelter, blessed by rain
To our common unknown aim
Through the north side of the town
To the south where we lay down

Under floodlights but no stars
Without people without cars
Where i ask you without sound
Will you answer without words?
Do the move that's written down
When you close your eyes you find
You can prophesise the steps
You can visualise the maps

If you act upon it when
There's no trace of doubt within
When your heart is freshly stung
You cannot fail, you cannot act wrong

You say that life is long
But you took the words
Out of my mind

Life is long and the world is small
Our paths will cross some other time
