‘Mexico’ is taken from The Staves' debut album, Dead & Born & Grown.
The singer is reminiscing about the past in the context of a difficult relationship and wondering what the future will hold.
Take it back or let me go
It's better if I tell you so
I hurt you once before and I'll do it again
Everyone I know is gone and I don't even know myself
I'm saving up to take a trip to Mexico
I heard it's the place to go
I want to see the colours of another sky
Carry me home on your shoulders
Lower me onto my bed
Show me the night that I dreamed about before
Lover you may cause me tears
Drag me through the best of years
You'll never know any of the songs I wrote
Older than a year or two, but I love you so
Oh, carry me home on your shoulders
Lower me onto my bed
Show me the night that I dreamed about before
Carry me home on your shoulders
Lower me onto my bed
Show me the night that I dreamed about before
Lover you may cause me tears
Drag me through the best of years
But I love you so
Mexico was written by Camilla Staveley-Taylor & Emily Staveley-Taylor & Jessica Staveley-Taylor.
