Lyrics

[INTRO]
Oh, the corner’s calling tonight,
Where the spice of life ignites,
But the alley's dark, it feels so wrong,
I’m drifting here, where I belong.

[VERSE 1]
I’ve seen this stand on the corner each night,
With a hustle and bustle that feels so right.
An impromptu kitchen, so warm, so bright,
Street tacos waiting—I will take a bite.

[CHORUS]
Where are you now, my midnight delight?
Donde estás, mi anhelo de la noche?
Missing your flavors, out of my sight,
Ya no están, me siento en el aire.

[VERSE 2]
With just two from the gas station, they shared,
So divine they were, but oh, how I dared.
To dream of spice, and the joy they’d bring,
But here in the silence, it’s a bitter sting.

[CHORUS]
Where are you now, my midnight delight?
Donde estás, mi anhelo de la noche?
Missing your flavors, out of my sight,
Ya no están, me siento en el aire.

[BRIDGE]
I heard whispers ‘round, the cops rolled in,
Shut it down, took my joy on a whim.
Can’t they see the love in a soft tortilla?
A simple pleasure, my heart’s euphoria.

[VERSE 3]
The street feels empty, shadows dance in line,
Under these stars, they once made me shine.
Now it’s just echoes of laughter and flame,
In the absence of tacos, I’m left with the pain.

[CHORUS]
Where are you now, my midnight delight?
Donde estás, mi anhelo de la noche?
Missing your flavors, out of my sight,
Ya no están, me siento en el aire.

[OUTRO]
So here I’ll wait in this quiet space,
For the sizzle and crunch of a warm embrace.
One day, I’ll find you, my street-side friend,
Until then, this hunger, it may never end.
