If I have to, I take a boat, I row
For six months, eating fish to see you
They still have to invent a sea big enough
To scare me and make me give up on you
If I have to, I build some machine
More sudden than a tear
And in a moment of longing and pain
I arrive to say I came to see you
Has to be lived every moment
Every hour I'm away
I've only got 80 years ahead
Please, give me a chance to live
Has to be lived every moment
Every hour I'm away
I've only got 80 years ahead
Please, gimme a chance to live
Has to be lived every moment
Every hour I'm away
I've only got 80 years ahead
Please, give me a chance to live
Has to be lived every moment
Every hour I'm away
I've only got 80 years ahead
Please, gimme a chance to live
If I have to, I spin the whole Earth
Until time forgets
To move ahead and goes back
When every continent met
So I can walk to you
And I know, woman, nobody lives on fish alone
Nor goes back to the past
My words are worth little
And promises don't tell you anything
But if there's someone who can restore your faith in the world
Even my song went mute
And I suspect this world
Might not be all that anymore
But it doesn't matter, we invent our life
And life is good with you
Everything that stayed is here
The good life with you, with you
