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
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

You hold the secrets of a falling star
I want to be where you are
Where you are 2x
