This isn't new to me
But there's a reason why
I won't just wear my heart out on my sleeve
And I believe in love
But every memory of you and me says love isn't enough
It's not enough, it's not enough

So make it all go faster than it needs to go
Past the part where I don't understand you
And you trust me on my own
Take me straight to summer where the cold is gone
Singing santeria by the ocean bring me home
Bring me home, bring me home

I feel it in the air
I know you want to get to know me
But you act like you don't care
And we begin to laugh
You start to learn all my habits and you understand my past
And this could last, and this could last

So make it all go faster than it needs to go
Past the part where I don't understand you
And you trust me on my own
Take me straight to summer where the cold is gone
Singing santeria by the ocean bring me home
Bring me home, bring me home
Bring me home, bring me home
Bring me home, bring me home

And now we're drifting on the other side
Make it easy for the fire to stay alive
And now the sunset will over-ride
And the band starts playing we'll be playing all night
And the band starts playing we'll be playing all night
We'll be playing all night
