Influenced by José José, Juan Gabriel, Agustín Lara, Armando Manzanero, Luis Miguel. José Lerán's life was split between two Mexico City homes after his parents' divorce: a sleek Polanco townhouse and a bohemian Coyoacán apartment. This weekly migration taught him to be a diplomat in life and an archivist of heartache in song. At the old upright piano belonging to his beloved stepfather, he began to channel the grand romantic tradition of José José, writing lush, orchestral ballads about the feeling of being a guest in one's own life. He still keeps his grandfather’s tarnished keychain, a reminder of all the doors love can, and cannot, open.

Lyrics

[Verse 1]
La luz del WTC se rompe en el cristal
del taxi en el Periférico, un martes sin final.
Elijo el distribuidor que va hacia el Pedregal,
la ruta es un desvío, un acto teatral.

[Chorus]
Y doy la vuelta larga, la que alarga la vida.
No hay atajo que valga esta avenida encendida.
Es un mapa sagrado de pura geografía,
la cura de una herida que yo mismo me haría.

[Verse 2]
El aire de Coyoacán huele a café y a jacaranda.
Pasamos por tu calle, pero aquí nadie me ablanda.
"Aquí siempre huele a lluvia", dijiste, y era tanta
tu voz en mi recuerdo, que el pavimento canta.

[Chorus]
Y doy la vuelta larga, la que alarga la vida.
No hay atajo que valga esta avenida encendida.
Es un mapa sagrado de pura geografía,
la cura de una herida que yo mismo me haría.

[Bridge]
Y en el bolsillo busco un peso muerto de metal,
la llave de una puerta que ya no debo cruzar.
Es solo un espejismo, un truco personal
para no ver las ruinas de mi punto cardinal.

[Chorus]
(Key Change)
Y doy la vuelta larga, ¡la que alarga la vida!
¡No hay atajo que valga esta avenida encendida!
Es un mapa sagrado, mi nueva teología,
la cura de una herida que es mi única alegría.

[Outro]
La vuelta larga...
Siempre la vuelta larga...
