Verse 1

It was chance

A 'Hi girl, how are you?'

And just like that, I've known you forever

Or that's how it feels

It was so real

Something that I only saw on Instagram

How I wish to see you, but I shouldn't see you

Chorus 1

I know that the years will pass and you will come back to Madrid

How much it hurts me to be without you

That doesn't let me sleep

Because I don't stop thinking of you and although I would like to dream of you

Without you I can't sleep

What does it cost us to just try?

So that we don't have to imagine

What happens if you're here

Here

Here by my side and tonight wouldn't be so cold

Verse 2

My bed is empty

I've waited for you so long even though I didn't know it

That I looked for you without finding you

And I found you when not looking for you

Verse 2

What damn luck I had

I couldn't write to you, I couldn't speak

You know that I don't know how to lie, to fake

There's things that people make up

I don't want anyone to notice

But I want to write to you, I want to call

Tell me if you feel like that, you think of me

I want you to come back

There's something when you're not here

Chorus 2

That doesn't let me sleep

Because I don't stop thinking of you and although I would like to dream of you

Without you I can't sleep

Sleep

Chorus 2

What does it cost us to just try?

So that we don't have to imagine

What happens if you're here

Here

Outro

So many years have gone by and you came back to Madrid

This still has no end

SONG MEANING

Picture a late-night scroll that turns into a lightning-bolt connection: Dormir captures that rush when a simple "Hola niña" in your DMs suddenly feels like you have known each other forever. Aitana sings about a love sparked online yet stretched across cities, oceans, and years. She lies awake in Madrid replaying every chat, every missed call, and every "what if" while her empty bed turns the night colder. The chorus is a loop of restless thoughts: she cannot switch off her mind long enough to drift into dreams because her heart keeps hitting replay.

Under the catchy pop melody, the song explores destiny, timing, and the strange luck of finding someone only after you stop looking. It is a modern fairy-tale with real-world glitches: long-distance flights, muted feelings, and rumors that swirl around them. Still, hope pulses through every verse—maybe if they both dare to try, tomorrow will bring warmth, togetherness, and at last a peaceful night’s sleep.
