The lead single from The Rip Tide, “Santa Fe” is an ode to the city where Beirut got its start (well, there and Albuquerque). The video for “Santa Fe” is funny and irreverent, but notably features scenes from a beach. There are no beaches in Santa Fe.
Santa Fe Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Your days in one
This day undone
(The kind that breaks under)
All day at once
(For me, for you)
I'm just too young
(And what of my heart)
[Verse 2]
This day was once
(Silently full)
Of grace, of lost
Can't wait at all
(Can't wait at all)
Temptation won
[Pre-Chorus]
And whatever comes through the door
You see her face to face
All about your place
[Chorus]
Sign me up Santa Fe
And call your son
Sign me up Santa Fe
On the cross Santa Fe
And all I want
Sign me up Santa Fe
And call your son
And I and I and I alone want you to know
And I and I and I alone
And I and I and I alone want you to know
And I and I and I alone
[Verse 3]
Your days in one
This day undone
(The kind that breaks under)
All day at once
(For me, for you)
I'm just too young
(And what of my heart)
[Chorus]
Sign me up Santa Fe
And call your son
Sign me up Santa Fe
On the cross Santa Fe
And all I want
Sign me up Santa Fe
And call your son
