Lyrics
-
Forse ho sbagliato a parlarti di me
Scusami che disastro
Quello che provo per te sembra avorio ma invece è alabastro
Ti ho scritto un libro di pagine vuote ma non ci riesco
A stare qui con te
Quel sorriso ormai è fuoco amico
Schegge impazzite adesso che vuoi
Guarda il cielo portami indietro
I mostri nel vetro sembriamo noi
A cosa pensi quando tiri
Poco prima che mi chiami
Sento tutti i tuoi respiri
Li sfioro con le mani
Ma stasera corri forte ti vedo appena
E per raggiungerti dovrò lasciarti andare
E stasera la tua voce non è lontana
E prova a prendermi ma non voglio scappare
E anche se ti ho cercato come un'illusione perfetta
Vengo verso di te questa notte vorrei fosse eterna
Ma stasera corri forte ti vedo appena
E per raggiungerti per non lasciarti andare
Andare via
Senza di te nei locali la notte io non mi diverto
A casa c'è sempre un sacco di gente ma sembra un deserto
Tu ci hai provato a cercarmi persino negli occhi di un altro
Ma resti qui con me
Quel sorriso ormai è fuoco amico
Schegge impazzite adesso che vuoi
Guarda il cielo portami indietro
I mostri nel vetro sembriamo noi
A cosa pensi quando tiri
Poco prima che mi chiami
Sento tutti i tuoi respiri
Li sfioro con le mani
Ma stasera corri forte ti vedo appena
E per raggiungerti dovrò lasciarti andare
E stasera la tua voce non è lontana
E prova a prendermi ma non voglio scappare
E anche se ti ho cercato come un'illusione perfetta
Vengo verso di te questa notte vorrei fosse eterna
Ma stasera corri forte ti vedo appena
E per raggiungerti per non lasciarti andare
Andare via
E quanto mi odio quando tu mi fai sentire
Come un'idea che puoi bruciare
Ma stasera corri forte ti vedo appena
E per raggiungerti per non lasciarti andare
E stasera la tua voce non è lontana
E prova a prendermi ma non voglio scappare
E anche se ti ho cercato come un'illusione perfetta
Vengo verso di te questa notte vorrei fosse eterna
Ma stasera corri forte ti vedo appena
E per raggiungerti, per non lasciarti andare
Andare via
Andare via
Andare via

Maybe I was wrong to talk to you about me - forgive me, what a disaster.
What I'm practising for you seems like marble but is alabaster.
I wrote you a book with empty pages but I can't
be here with you.
That smile is already a friendly fire.
Crazy splinters, what do you want now?
Look at the sky, take me backwards.
The monsters in the mirror look like us.
What do you think of when you shoot?
A bit before you call me,
I feel all your breathing,
I graze it with my hands.
But tonight you're running fast, I barely see you
and to reach you I'll have to let you go.
And tonight your voice is not far away,
and it tries to get ahold of me but I don't want to escape.
And even if I've looked for you as if you were a perfect illusion,
I'm coming towards you and I wish tonight was eternal.
But tonight you're running fast, I barely see you,
and it's for me to reach you, to not let you go,
let you go away.
Without you, I don't have fun at the clubs at night.
There's always a lot of people at home but it feels like a desert.
You've tried to look for me even in the eyes of someone else,
but you stay here with me.
That smile is already a friendly fire.
Crazy splinters, what do you want now?
Look at the sky, take me backwards.
The monsters in the mirror look like us.
What do you think of when you shoot?
A bit before you call me,
I feel all your breathing,
I graze it with my hands.
But tonight you're running fast, I barely see you
and to reach you I'll have to let you go.
And tonight your voice is not far away,
and it tries to get ahold of me but I don't want to escape.
And even if I've looked for you as if you were a perfect illusion,
I'm coming towards you and I wish tonight was eternal.
But tonight you're running fast, I barely see you,
and it's for me to reach you, to not let you go,
let you go away.
And damn, do I hate myself when you make me feel
like an idea that you can burn.
But tonight you're running fast, I barely see you
and to reach you I'll have to let you go.
And tonight your voice is not far away,
and it tries to get ahold of me but I don't want to escape.
And even if I've looked for you as if you were a perfect illusion,
I'm coming towards you and I wish tonight was eternal.
But tonight you're running fast, I barely see you,
and it's for me to reach you, to not let you go,
let you go away.
Let you go away.
