Okay, I remember when we wouldn't get up in the morning
And we'd smoke till daylight down in Marechiaro
I never really recall how I began
You never really stop once we start
If freedom is a teenage screw-up
Loving without asking, hating without understanding
What's love? Ours isn't just talk
It's a love beyond, the haberdashery in Piazza Sempione
No buts, no ifs, no you
You know better than me that you're better
I'm sorry but, you know
Sometimes it's complicated
It's pointless for you to shield yourself from me
And if we spend another night
Between making love and throwing punches
These aren't wishes, it's the law of attraction
Life, yeah, is a snapshot, an attention disorder
And you were there, yeah, always like a friend
That tiny house, that nest on Via Tina Pica
And then yeah, in that shot, a colorless hug
That song 'Sempre e per sempre' by De Gregori
What do the others know about living like us?
Really, forever and ever wherever we are
No buts, no ifs, no you
You know better than me that you're better
I'm sorry but, you know
Sometimes it's complicated
It's pointless for you to shield yourself from me
And if we spend another night
Between making love and throwing punches
Yeah, maybe there's a cure or maybe not
And maybe not, I won't find you again
You never asked me for anything
maybe one day, maybe just one day
That flower, yeah, a minute to trample it
And now where am I going?
No buts, no ifs, no you
You know better than me that you're better
I'm sorry but, you know
Sometimes it's complicated
