Verse 1
I feel that today I can't take it anymore
I look for you and only find sea
I need to see you and talk
I know that you're far from here
Smiling without laughing
Writing something for me
One night I went to look
For the place in your arms
That years ago I couldn't find
I've heard you walking
I feel you but you're not here
Look at yourself and now look back
Chorus 1
You've come to awaken
My joy and happiness
Chorus 1
I've got so many things to tell
Come, go back to sleep
Come back to discover all that with me
Verse 2
How many doubts I served you
How many things I missed
How many times you've made me laugh
So long without crying
Without feeling, without listening
Without having something to talk about
You sitting in front of me
I look and only see in you
All that's left to live
I unintentionally saw in your eyes
Such a desire to love
That I just want to see them again
Chorus 2
You've come to awaken
My joy and happiness
Chorus 2
I've got so many things to tell
Come, go back to sleep
Come back to discover all that with me
You've come to awaken
My joy and happiness
Chorus 2
I've got so many things to tell!
And come, go back to sleep
Come back to discover all that with me
Come, go back to sleep
Chorus 2
Come back to discover all that with me

SONG MEANING

Tantas Cosas Que Contar paints the bittersweet thrill of reuniting with someone who once felt impossibly distant. The singer drifts through memories of empty shores and silent streets, craving the warmth of familiar arms. When that long-lost presence finally reappears, it feels like daybreak after a long night: emotions stir, laughter returns, and the heart races with untold stories that have piled up over the years.

The lyrics celebrate the magic of second chances. They invite the listener to curl up, close their eyes, and “rediscover” everything they once shared – the smiles, the tears, even the moments they missed. It is a tender reminder that time apart can make connection sweeter, because it fills our hearts with countless tales waiting to be told.
