‘Manila’ Lyrics
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

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

Why does it take such time?
Oh. You don’t even drink red wine
This is nothing to cling to
On your son's face there is gloom
He’s been in his room since noon
Tell me what else we can do?
It’s been raining all day

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

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?

I can’t be here
I can’t see you
I can’t breathe here
I can't breathe

In a Manila afternoon
Oh, in a Manila afternoon
Oh, in a Manila afternoon
And I'm trying so hard
Oh, in a Manila afternoon
