How Did I End Up in Bogota?
lyric
[Verse]
I bought a ticket to sunny L.A
But here I am where the clouds don't stay
The Andes rise like they own the sky
And I'm asking myself
Why oh why
[Chorus]
How did I end up in Bogota
Not the dream
Not the plan
Not the cha-cha
The airline said
"Oops
" and I said
"Ah-ha!"
Now I'm sipping coffee in Colombia
[Verse 2]
The streets are steep
The air is thin
A stranger's smile pulls me in
I wanted palm trees
I got this view
Mountains so high they touch the sky so blue
[Prechorus]
I lost my map
I Found something new
Who needs plans when the world finds you
[Chorus]
How did I end up in Bogota
Not the dream
Not the plan
Not the cha-cha
The airline said
"Oops
" and I said
"Ah-ha!"
Now I'm sipping coffee in Colombia
[Bridge]
The city's a heartbeat
A drum in my chest
Every wrong turn might just be the best
I came for the stars on a boulevard
But these city lights
They're stealing my heart
