Las Cosas Que Uno Quiere

I have for my friends
freedom
to leave them alone whenever they want
to drown in a memory.
I want for my friends
the best land
a warm cup of tea in the winter
and a girl who’ll keep them up at night.

And in the calm afternoons
a new song that talks about them
about the people we care about
about the people we care about
about the people we care about.
I can't stand to see those guys
in defeat
standing in the middle of life
not knowing what to do.

I want us to join our forces
and let go of our fears
growing up strong without poison
like corn grows.
This isn't a game, we know it well
the life ain't a novel
we raise our arms to the sun
And in the calm afternoons
a new song that talks about them
about the things we want.
