Manila

[Verse 1]

In a sun-drenched afternoon

On a table set for two

I'll be waiting by the bar

We don't have to venture far

There's no reason to hold back

Why on earth you wearing black?

Add some colour to your life

There are no rules this time

[Chorus]

I can be here

I can see you

I can breathe here

In a Manila afternoon

I can be here

I can see you

I can breathe here

In a Manila afternoon

[Verse 2]

Why does it take such time? Oh

You don't еven drink red wine

This is nothing to cling to

On your son's facе, there is gloom

He's been in his room since noon

Tell me what else we can do?

It's been raining all day

[Chorus]

I can't be here

I can't see you

I can't breathe here

In a Manila afternoon

I can't be here

I can't see you

I can't breathe here

In a Manila afternoon

[Bridge]

And I'm climbing up the wall

Yeah, not cutting any corners

And I'm asking for more

Why do I even bother?

I'm trying so hard

I'm not trying for ya

Yeah, I'm trying so hard

Why do I even bother?

Why do I even bother?

[Chorus]

I can't be here

I can't see you (Why do I even bother?)

I can't breathe here

I can't breathe

I can't be here

I can't see you (In a Manila afternoon)

I can't breathe here (Oh)

In a Manila afternoon

Oh, in a Manila afternoon

And I'm trying so hard

Oh, in a Manila afternoon
