Barcelona, Cartagena, Anywhere

Performed by Andy Mientus at a benefit concert for "It Gets Better." December 5, 2011 at Joe's Pub.

Barcelona
We always said we'd go to Barcelona
Spanish wine and Spanish beaches
Out of reach cuz everything I say is wrong now.

Empty pages
emptier than me, in a passport
Broken spines and dog-eared cities
Travel guides that line the walls.
We'll never see the Taj Mahal.

Now that it's over.
Now that it's over
I'd give the world to go

To Cartegena.
Charter me a boat to Alaska.
I see London, I see France
but I won't ever get to dance with you again now.

What to stop me,
What's to keep me
Tethered to this broken city?
Pack my bag and fill these pages.
Wander off for ages.

Now that it's over.
Now that it's over.
I'd give the world to let you go and go to Barcelona,
Cartagena,
Anywhere...

Why didn't we fly away when we had the chance to go?
Why didn't we fly away?
Now I'm flying solo.
Why didn't we fly away?

Now I'm flying solo
Everywhere.
