Name: Hoi-An
Duration: P00H05M11S
Description: Hoi-An is a small, scenic beach town in Vietnam, which happened to be a pit-stop in a personal journey in which two wandering souls unwittingly fell for each other, knowing well that it would only last as long as the journey did.

lyrics

The sunlight nicked away from the sea
We head down south from here
Backpacks, helmets and two wheels and we got

The sun, shrimps, the pho and the sea

'Cause I don't know, no man knows
We've been staring at the sea so long she said
Is there something wrong with the waves tonight?
And the funny way that we've been talking
Cutting curves and now were falling for
What we set out to avoid

Dramatize, criticize your back
With your hair streaming down your face
Let me take in, acclimatize

I assumed, how could I decide
Hidden among those smoke plumes
Fall in the trap again

We are lost with time in these pretty streets of Hoi-An
These yellow walls uneasy silences inbetween the noise of this crowd
And the funny way that we've been talking
Cutting curves and now were falling
How can you make time move so fast?

Dramatize, criticize your back
With your hair straming down your face
Let me take in, acclimatize

Hoi-An, Hoi-oi-oi-oi-an
'Cause I don't know, no man knows
We'd been staring at the sea so long she said.
The sunlights nicked away from the sea
And a little you still a part of me
You and silly me
Still a part of me
You and silly me
You and silly me
You and silly me
