Where You Are

I saw her through my range finder Moving like a sidewinder I pulled focus to find the frame She whipped around and said what's your name and Why you trying to take a picture of me Can't a girl get some privacy I held my camera discombobulated All I could say that I was captivated I want to know what you know I want to go where you go You hold the secrets of a falling star I want to be where you are Where you are She said her name was Esperanza Her family moved here from The Valley I got a cousin down in Harlingen We used to kick around McAllen Name is Luke I kinda stuttered Skinny white boy from the suburbs I shoot this camera when I'm feeling alone My mamas always working and my daddys never home So tell me Esperanza what's your favorite song Is it something that really goes off Me, I'm into country, little Radiohead She rolled her eyes and said genres are dead I guess unless you're trying to fuck with the Queen You know my girl, yeah you know who I mean Aye Selena, God rest her soul I just love Amor Prohibido I want to know what you know I want to go where you go You hold the secrets of a falling star I want to be where you are Where you are Something changed in the conversation I felt calm with a cool elation Like I had met her somewhere before And now fate was knocking at my door She wrote her number on the back of my hand I felt it burn like a tattoo can Black hair blowing as she crossed the street She hollered back "Flaco nice to meet you" I want to know what you know I want to go where you go You hold the secrets of a falling star I want to be where you are Where you are Sounds a simple as boy meets girl Til you find the one you'd burn the world for Grow up fast in the flick of a spark Hold out your finger, electricity arcs Like a stoplight flashing in a town this small Four left turns and you've seen it all Through the shadow of the watertower Nervous fistful of roadside flowers Tell me Esperanza won't you meet me after school Black hair braided and your brown skin cool Lean back cross the hood of my car I want to be where you are Where you are I want to know what you know I want to go where you go You hold the secrets of a falling star I want to be where you are Where you are 2x
