I know that you're free to leave, just as you are to stay
_____
Until we fine-tune our gestures and forget language
_____
That a look be enough to say that I love you
_____
That a sigh be enough to decipher your fears
_____
Maybe that's why you leave, maybe that's why you come back
_____
Because of the new unbearable seriousness that terrifies us
_____
That's why we keep loneliness forgotten
_____
But it's that when we leave we both look back
_____
And it may be that it's true and one day I'll leave too
_____
That love doesn't last a century and the river doesn't run backward
_____
And it may be that they're wrong, and fear plays us wrong
_____
And that, to spare us pain, the wind may leave us behind
_____
I know that you'll surely find a kiss that tastes the same
_____
As my lips that now whisper your name softly so as not to face it
_____
That I propose a deal because I can't take any more
_____
With this constant attempt to run away just to come back
_____
I propose that we look at each other slowly and make skin a home
_____
That we escape under open sky, redo our idea of the sea
_____
That we reinvent time again, leave the weapons in peace
_____
Give meaning to the movement of a step that doesn't go back
_____
And it may be that it's true and one day I'll leave too
_____
That love doesn't last a century and the river doesn't run backward
_____
And it may be that they're wrong, and fear plays us wrong
_____
And that, to spare us pain, the wind may leave us behind
_____
And it may be that it's true and one day I'll leave too
_____
That love doesn't last a century and the river doesn't run backward
_____
And it may be that they're wrong, and fear plays us wrong
_____
And that, to spare us pain, the wind may leave us behind
_____
Leave us behind, leave us behind
