I apologize to everybody who's absent
But I don't care about you anymore
Since the tide erased
my drawings on a rock
when I didn't understand myself
It's a laughing slice of moon
about this birthday in February
about what I already knew
I'm counting failed caresses
so that huge wounds can close
And I ask God every day
even just one tiny story
So I close my eyes and then I see
the chapters of an ancient book
and I don't know who I am anymore, I don't know the words
but you teach me to really count
I still hadn't learned to run at your age
but when my dad looked at me proud
I smiled like you do with me
I'm counting failed caresses
so that huge wounds can close
And I ask God every day
even just one tiny story
So I close my eyes and then I see
the chapters of an ancient book
and I don't know who I am anymore, I don't know the words
but you teach me to really count
showed up to celebrate
that I was dying but nobody dies here
I'm counting failed caresses
so that huge wounds can close
And I ask God every day
even just one tiny story
So I close my eyes and then I see
the chapters of an ancient book
and I don't know who I am anymore, I don't know the words
but you teach me to really count
