Santa Maria

(written and composed by Jess Wright)


Two lights are brighter than one
Chasing down the moon and the sun
And all the moments you might not get back
Sometimes it’s hard to pick the right track

Broke down in Santa Maria
Finding my heart is still with you
What can you do when the rest of your life
Is summed up in the blink of an eye

Chasing down a dream with no redemption
Flipping the hour glass again
Running on empty and riding on the wind
Burning the candle at both ends
Burning the candle at both ends

‘Cause two lights are brighter than one
Aren’t blondes supposed to have more fun?
Sometimes to me the most beautiful sight
Is a home and a smile

Chasing down a dream with no redemption
Flipping the hour glass again
Running on empty and riding on the wind
Burning the candle at both ends
Burning the candle at both ends

When the future starts to look like a reflection of the past
And you’re standing there along with a single match
It’s time to face the question that’s been heavy on the air
Have these dreams changed… and how do I get there?

Chasing down a dream with no redemption
Flipping the hour glass again
Running on empty and riding on the wind
Burning the candle at both ends
Burning the candle at both ends

‘Cause two lights are brighter than one
Two lights are brighter than one
