Lyrics
Wake up in Manila
Starting the day in Manila, a city
Ride to Belize
Traveling to Belize, another location
Dive into the ocean and feel a little free
Experiencing freedom by diving into the ocean
Skies of vanilla
Describing the sky with a vanilla-like color
Smell it through the breeze
Sensing a pleasant scent through the breeze
You could be the one take a chance with me (you could, you could, you could)
Encouraging someone to take a chance in a relationship
You're running circles round your heart (oh yeah)
Someone is emotionally conflicted, running in circles
I know it's going to be real dark
Expecting a challenging or difficult situation
I take a minute, light a spark (oh yeah)
Taking a moment to ignite enthusiasm or passion
We can dance until the fall (the fall)
Suggesting the possibility of dancing until a downfall
Si te vienes conmigo, piénsatelo bien (-telo bien)
Inviting someone to think carefully before joining
Vamos a cien por hora un poco del revés (del revés)
Proposing an adventurous and reversed journey
Porque cuando arrancamos ya no para el tren, eh
Highlighting the unstoppable nature of their journey
Mira que te lo cuento bien, y-eh-eh
Emphasizing the sincerity of the storyteller
Why don't we live
Questioning why they don't live a little more
Why don't we live
-Why don't we live, just a little bit
-Why don't we stay
Questioning why they don't stay
Why don't we stay
-Why don't we
-Wake in Manila
Repeating the earlier verses, reiterating the theme
Ride to Belize
-Dive into the ocean and feel a little free
-Skies of vanilla
-Smell it through the breeze
-You could be the one take a chance with me
-Take a chance with me (oh-oh)
Encouraging someone to take a chance in a relationship
Take a chance with me (daba-da, daba-da, ey-ey-ey-yeah)
-Take a chance with me
-Y si mezclamos mi cerveza y tu tequila
Suggesting mixing different elements, expressing admiration
Hoy no hay controles de Berlín hasta Manila (Manila)
-Ay, tu sonrisa me parece poesía, yeh (yeh)
-Como te digo, como te digo yo
-Why don't we live
Repeating the chorus, questioning why they don't live or stay
Why don't we live
-Why don't we live, just a little bit
-Why don't we stay
-Why don't we stay
-Why don't we
-Wake in Manila
Reiterating the earlier verses, emphasizing taking a chance
Ride to Belize
-Dive into the ocean and feel a little free
-Skies of vanilla
-Smell it through the breeze
-You could be the one take a chance with me
-Take a chance with me (with me, yeah, oh-oh)
Encouraging someone to take a chance in a relationship
Take a chance with me (daba-da, daba-da, ey-ey)
-Take a chance with me
-Why don't we live
Repeating the final chorus, questioning why they don't live or stay
Why don't we live
-Why don't we live, just a little bit
-Why don't we stay
-Why don't we stay
-Why don't we stay, just a little bit
