I’ve made a map of places, that I wanna go
A list of things I gotta do, just before I die
And it’s on my wall
So I can remember

Although I’m on my way, to the top of my list
I’m trying to understand why I’m not quite satisfied
And it just drives me crazy
‘Cause it’s very simple

When I remember, what I’ve got
When I remember what I’ve lost
I realize, I did completely, lose my mind

‘Cause it’s on the way, the way you walk
It’s on the way, the way you move
It’s all about you, but you don’t know
It’s all around you, but you don’t see

Next thing I know, I’m going over my list
I’m checking line by line to see what I’ve done wrong
And there’s a big mistake
Something is missing

I’ve got money on the top, parties all around
A trip around the world, so I can fill my book
But I forgot one thing
And it’s very important

When I remember, what I’ve got
When I remember what I’ve lost
I realize, I did completely, lose my mind

‘Cause it’s on the way, the way you walk
It’s on the way, the way you move
It’s all about you, but you don’t know
It’s all around you, but you don’t see

I gotta go to Mindelo
I gotta go to Mindelo
I gotta go to Mindelo
I gotta go to Mindelo

It’s all above your, above your skin
It’s all about you, you and me

I gotta go to Mindelo
I gotta go to Mindelo
I gotta go to Mindelo
I gotta go to Mindelo

I’ve made a map of places, that I wanna go
A list of things I gotta do, just before I die
And it’s on my wall
So I can remember
