How much time we've wasted
We're dust in the universe
I knew it and I'd told you
I've always been a bit different
I'd have done something huge
I felt it growing inside and now
Look, I've got a new tattoo
Women and flowers on my arms
In spite of everything I stay in the square
At two we still play soccer
It doesn't matter if I've had success
I care more about where I come from
My home's where the wind blows
My life's on that concrete
How much we've been through on those streets
The habits I had, you know they haven't changed
Those phrases on me like they were tattooed
They still hurt even though they're further away now
It's true, I made some money even if I don't talk about it
I prefer other stuff even if sometimes I hide and cry
And not 'cause I feel tired, but 'cause I fight
I repeat to myself: 'Never change, Guido, don't do it!'
No, no, no, no, I don't wanna leave these streets
I travel the world, but then I'll come back
We'll get back to the square, you don't know how great a friend is
Who gives you their shoulder just to cry on
But look at me, they wanted to change me but
It's not possible, you know well it doesn't work
We'll break the limit sitting on a cloud
And I keep promises
It's gotten late, I'm in the parking lot, the lights go off
I'm not ready yet
I wanna scream till I lose my voice, they don't hear me
Tomorrow the world's ending
I climb the roof to watch the sunset so they won't catch me
You don't know how much I need it
I'm sorry for what I did to you, I still don't forgive myself
A butterfly doesn't live long but dies flying
I think about how important it can be to live dreaming
Everybody talks, but few act
Everybody talks and only a few find the courage and gamble
I stay watching from afar
In one hand the world and in the backpack a pencil
I haven't changed my track
The world I was born in never pleased me and I redrew it
I chose how to live and don't blame myself for it
Even if I don't care, you know me, I'll never change
For when we don't agree
For when I thought: 'It's too much'
You can't scratch the thread, it's made of granite
What a kid wants to hear is just: 'I'll love you'
Regardless of what you'll do
Your family's the most precious and unique treasure
But if you live it badly it's surely your worst enemy
No, no, no, no, I don't wanna leave these streets
I travel the world, but then I'll come back
We'll get back to the square, you don't know how great a friend is
Who gives you their shoulder just to cry on
But look at me, they wanted to change me but
It's not possible, you know well it doesn't work
We'll break the limit sitting on a cloud
