lyrics

I won't look the other way,
When you're stuck chasing yesterday,
Come and join me in the moment,
I'm sure I'll find some words of atonement for you

She's part of me like my Mexican Scar,
Our memories they shape the people we are x2

I won't look the other way,
The pilgrims travel speaking of your name
Go and join them in the moment,
I'm sure they'll find some words of atonement for you

She's part of me like my Mexican Scar,
Our memories they shape the people we are x2

And I don't miss you like I used to,
Do you feel the temperature rising up in here?
I wanna kiss you like I used to,
Do you feel the temptation getting near?

She's part of me like my Mexican Scar,
Our memories they shape the people we are x3
