Lyrics
Across this river
When you don’t even bother to think
if you’ll remember that all your life
your reflection in these waters
you’re seeing and feeling
you’re stealing some secrets tonight
you’re kneeling, you’re healing
after this bad dream you rise
you can row through this river
you don’t need to fear
there’s something letting you go
with the flow, you have the feeling
you can rise to the surface
you don’t need to hide anymore
your reflection in these waters
you can see a look of relief in your eyes
you’re wandering and drifting
you’re revealing some secrets tonight
you’re sitting and pondering
you wait, then with patience you rise.
Against the tides
You would say
we’ll step on the sand again
you and me
are we allowed to land?
I don’t know
it was a long time ago
you would say
we will see land again
but you’re feeling
this wind on your hair
the wind here often changes
but we’re still the same
we can see this wide open sea
against the tides, leaving no traces
I can live like this
since you are here
hanging in there
there was a story, a moment came
with all my senses, I hoped for a change
so I lingered in the sun
we would say
we will see land again
but we’re both feeling this wind
it doesn’t matter if we’ll stay offshore
we knew it long ago,
let’s just linger in this sun.
All in good time
What can I say?
and what can you say?
it takes time to figure things out
so what can we say?
a forever thing…
we’re gonna live it now
we’re giving up lately
we nearly forgot how to breathe in and breathe out
we know things are changing
but we don’t really know how to belong
what we’ve been seeking still has no name
a life is calling us, just watch it change
behind the memory of glad old days
all in good time, they all say
beyond the shadow, arise other things
we realize this means everything
it’s better to stay away
isn’t it better to stay?
can we seek this way just now?
walking up and down
we have a feeling
we know the meaning
it’s gonna be now.
Amarcord
Sometimes I forget
that you’re older now
so many times I regret
living with this doubt
my whole life packed in this box, so tiny
it’s odd how things were easier at that time
I’ll embrace
this pain and let the waves
wash my thoughts away
I’ll embrace this…
you were saying goodbye and
I was feeling this old pain
you left and I stayed here
and after that night I felt the weight of age
so much weight that I couldn’t stand it
I tried to escape
I cried until the dawn
I danced with myself
so lonely, after you were gone
summer after summer
I walked by the riverside
trying to live through this
trying to feel
feel you by my side.
Distance
Hey, I have a lot to talk to you about
But you say you don’t have time
I know you don’t feel like it now
And I know you won’t feel like it tomorrow
I don’t wanna change anything
I’m just trying to write my fate
Your indifference only shows me
What you care about
I’m feeling, I’m feeling far from the world
Nothing else is the same
Back then I used to trust you
Now I will never let you know
What I care about
I’m sure I forgot what I said
And I think that is just right
I wish I could remember
How things were before
I don’t wanna change anything
I’m just trying to find my way
Your distance only shows me
What you care about
Fire to cold
There was nothing to be said
Yes, I’m aware of that
Then why did you look so sad?
So you see, love is something more than that
There might be some simpler way
It’ll be another day
It’s hard to kill a bad thing
Yes, you know, how can we do it anyway?
I only know it is, not how or why
My heart goes from cool to fire, warm to cold
Still for a moment, you know
I was a little ashamed
I know I can’t change what happened
I wish I could, and so do you
So when you leave today, I hope you breathe
And it makes you feel the sunlight
Like how you used to feel it
I only know it is, not how or why
My heart goes from cool to fire, warm to cold
Still for a moment, you know
I was a little ashamed
I know I can’t change what happened
I wish I could
And so do you
I hope you breathe, and it makes you feel the Sunlight
Your feelings are fading
And this is how things end now
Give it a try
What makes you happy, baby?
You wait the unexpected, maybe
But give it a try and think of all the things you feel when you think about me
Don’t try to understand it
Don’t try to complicate it
Do not even try to explain all your secret things
How long is this gonna take?
I just can’t wait to see you
Nothing can stop me from having you here
Do you think about love? Yeah tell me, baby
Do you think about us? Don’t make me wait
Am I saying it right? I’ll still be here for a while
Don’t be late, don’t be afraid
You might think that time is something that we cannot see
But if you think about it, baby
And I’ve been thinking, it’s overrated
Just forget about all those things
Our time starts now, don’t you see?
How long is this gonna take?
I just can’t wait to see you
Nothing can stop me from having you here
Do you think about love? Yeah tell me, baby
Do you think about us? Don’t make me wait
Am I saying it right? I’ll still be here for a while
Green Sea
Looking out at this green sea
For a moment, standing here
With the sunset on your shoulders
The world seemed to stand still
But what does it mean? What does it mean?
It’s easy as it seems
But nothing at all, nothing at all
Is so easy as it seems right now
Life has changed completely
Since your words flew with the wind
What did they mean? What did they mean?
Is everything so close to you?
And nothing at all, nothing at all
Is so easy as it seems
But now it sounds, now it sounds
Easy as it can be
Right now the whole ocean is in your eyes
You faced a bitter time
Embraced a bitter life
And you even wished to die
But now you thank this, stay here
And even pray to live another night
Leave Behind
You took a look at life a long, long time ago
One thing after another, time has passed
But you don’t know
Yes, you thought about it, then you left this behind
You’ve been trying to avoid it
but that’s far beyond what you need anyway
Can you think about it?
Or will you shut the door and leave all this behind?
There’s what you need and there’s what you find
Well, if you think about it
Perhaps you haven’t said enough in all your life
One moment more, only your words
How you wish you could trust someone after all
So you could clear your mind from
What you saw and what you heard
It always seems to me, you look for shelter as you escape
But wherever you may go, there’s something
keeping you away
Yes, you thought about it, then you left this behind
You’ve been trying to avoid it
but that’s far beyond what you need anyway
Can you think about it?
Or will you shut the door and leave all this behind?
There’s what you need and there’s what you find
Well, if you think about it
Perhaps you haven’t said enough in all your life
One moment more, only your words
Don’t look too far for what’s near
Deep inside you know that there must be something more
Can you think about it?
Or will you shut the door and leave all this behind?
There’s what you need and there’s what you find
Well, if you think about it
Perhaps you haven’t said enough in all your life
One moment more, only your words
It’s time
like a river
You said to me once
your look, I know it so well
I never took my eyes off you
Like someone under a spell
The truth came like water
Like a river running free
You stand here, you decide not to go
Your reflection in these waters
Seems so real to me
This season belongs to you
We have time on our side
As long as you stay I will stay too
Yes, you said to me
I’m so tired of being afraid
But among these waters I’m just me again.
Nightfall
Here
you near
I see the fire in your eyes
deep
over me
I feel the ice in your voice
a glimpse of your face
through the nightfall
as the night before
we feel the air embrace
while sets the sun
our shapes on the wall
we see the city lights fade
as the night goes on
until shines the sun
to see a little more
just a little more
you
so near
I see stars in your eyes
heat
cover me
I feel a storm in your voice.
Oblivious
You said you don’t know
what you were looking for
you didn’t mean it then
but now there’s something more
you can’t hold on now
that’s what this is about
you’re going under more and more
they gave you something
this is what all can see
and you gave them nothing
nothing good could come from this
you can’t hold on now
we know it with no doubt
you’re going under more and more
before you go, think!
you must have more than that to give
beyond nothing
just your reflection in this empty screen
it’s not enough, you see
until now
oblivious to something that we all know
crossing time, at a quick pace, we continue our walk alone
you said you want more
and you are looking for
you did mean it then
but now there’s nothing more
you can’t hold on now
that’s what this is about
you’re going under more and more
we don’t feel you at all.
On your own
You came then and seemed to say
one thing I didn’t know
your face was down
you didn’t look around
it felt like you were taking it slow
those people you couldn’t live without
it was sad to know all about them
please, you could ease your feelings alone
is it so hard for you to be a little strong?
You’re on your own!
you think it’s so strange now
the way you used to feel about us
and who would say so?
but I know, I feel it in my bones
you come now and seem to want
something that I own
your face is old
you don’t look like one
who knows how to take it slow
these things you can’t live without
it’s so sad to think about them.
you think it’s so strange now
the way you used to feel about us
and who would say so?
but I know, you know that I know, I feel it in my bones.
Only you and me
I remember when I found my love
It was a long and a cold spring night
Our calm eyes met for a second
We don’t speak, not even for a while
I waited until the last night of summer
To deserve your love after all
Since that day I’ve been living a dream
I never sleep and I never wake up
It’s a such good place
It’s a good place to remain
Let me stay here, baby
Until the sunrise
I feel that I belong
You were always here
You became so real to me
You mean all to me and all I see
Is only you and me
I remember when I found my love
It was a long and a cold spring night
Our calm eyes met for a second
We don’t speak, not even for a while
I waited until the last night of summer
To deserve your love after all
Since that day I’ve been living a dream
I never sleep and I never wake up
It’s a such good place
It’s a good place to remain
Let me stay here, baby
Until the sunrise
I feel that I belong
You were always here
You became so real to me
You mean all to me and all I see
Is only you and me
Other Self
Am I late to tell you that?
you know, I keep myself to myself
well, I feel I can’t stay close
close to what is falling down
you can see this coming
this light from above
and you feel nothing!
you’re scared to own
the weight on your shoulders
you’re afraid to believe
that you won’t be fine
you’re ashamed to know
what is in their souls
I promise, you won’t feel better
I guess I’m late to detain that
what I know I keep to myself
I don’t feel you can stay close
to my nervous breakdown
I’m longing for this
this force from above
but I feel nothing!
Stormy Weather
I need to be silent, and be alone
(I’m just waiting)
and it doesn’t matter if it’s right or wrong
(don’t explain it)
you’ve been living like you’ve never known
what’s the feeling that you’ve never shown
you could have gone a long time ago
but you never know
your time to be alone
Is someone looking at you
when you’re in a stormy weather?
can people see the same thing?
you come closer and closer
as close as you could get
wondering if you can reach us
so this will be the end
do you need silence to be alone?
(do you fear it?)
will you remember what’s right or wrong?
(you can’t believe it).
The Right Path
Once my breath was
The air that made you survive
Now I only breathe
The heavy air from all these streets
I can’t sleep anymore
I feel a little lost
I don’t feel the same no, not at all
Where do I go now?
I can’t find the right path
I didn’t learn by heart all the ways to go
Now everything is distant
And the things look very small
How amazing seems the past
When we don’t look back
I don’t feel the same no, not at all
Where do I go now?
I can’t find the right path
I didn’t learn by heart all the ways to go
The truth is mine
You made me see it all
I didn’t have to fake it was right
Oh, it was right
Your life was changing and there was nothing
That you wanted more
Away, in the dark
But now we both know
Tell me that you believe me
And there’s nothing at all
That you want more
Baby, you know I’ve been waiting
But now here we are, and I love who you are
With your eyes on me I felt that I could be free
Once more and with my eyes closed
You were smiling at me and made me believe
That you’d not go, make my heart your home
Always, you said that to me
Tell me that you believe me
And there’s nothing at all
That you want more
Baby, you know I’ve been waiting
But now here we are, and I love who you are
No one was good for me, but know this baby, you are
Nothing can make it change, nothing at all
But now we both know
The unknown
He always knew her secret language
The things she saw with her own eyes
She would never for a single second
Regret her path and her wild life
What she said was true
She could not explain
She knew what they liked best
It was always true
But on the last night of summer
She said everything with no need of words
She knows this is not the way that the world ends
And I think it’s true
But where was she looking at?
She said it must rain, she said it won’t rain
And she gave meaning to these words
There was something in the harmony of her face
The unknown, he said, but did he really know?
What she said was true
It was always true
But on the last night of summer
She said everything with no need of words
She knows this is not the way that the world ends
And I think it’s true
But where was she looking at?
To Cora
Turn away
Life has different shapes
It would be a huge mistake
Not to try to turn one more page
I wish I could tell you
How to forget the bad moments
You had here before
And how you can turn away
There’s gonna be something waiting for you
Something worthwhile to you
It’s just life and you must go through it
Pull yourself together
Pick up all the little pieces that used to be yours
And find your place again.
Hey, we know things have been tough lately,
but don’t look too far
‘cause there must be something more here,
deep inside you know.
Unreal
It’s fine, you lied and tried to be unkind
At the same time, it makes me wonder
In the meantime, you pretend not to see how we are
Between things, beyond things, nothing about the love
But if you think about it, it’s not strange
It’s the way, it’s just the way who you are
It truly doesn’t matter, just be who you are
You really disappoint me, don’t you know?
I think it’s so much better this way
It’s fine, I think I’ve been wasting my time
And it really makes me wonder
At the same time, you pretend not to see who you are
You become unreal as you’re getting older
But if you think about it, it is not strange
It is the way, it is just the way who you are
It truly doesn’t matter, just be who you are
You really disappoint me, don’t you know?
I think it’s so much better this way
Unremembered
This is the way that I tell you to stop and believe
If you don’t trust me, you should not have to stay
This is the way that I crave for another voice
Then we’ll whisper
There is a time
To unremember this feeling
This silent observer
If you don’t stay here don’t tell me ‘cause I won’t believe
I forgot the way you used to be
This is the way that I’m begging for your voice
Then we’ll whisper
There is a time
To unremember this feeling
This silent observer
My eyes can’t see you now
I try but it’s so hard
I just can’t forget
And I know I’ll be here
Waiting for time to pass
Falling asleep
To find another way
So stay
My eyes can’t see you now
I try but it’s so hard
I just can’t forget
And I know I’ll be here
Waiting for time to pass
Falling asleep
To find another way to say
Do you think it’s hard to believe?
I just can’t forget
And I know I’ll be here
Waiting for time to pass
Falling asleep
To find another way so stay
A voice makes me sleep
Untold
What seems to be left untold
hunts you like footsteps in the night
what seems to be invisible
in fact is out of your sight
a painting on the wall
is your reminder
that time could do better
you found yourself sitting and looking
paralyzed.
you feared you wouldn’t have enough time
to realize
your idea that everything comes from inside
from inside out
what feels to be left unsolved
follows you even without an invite
what feels to be invincible
exposes you every night.
When you're gone
When the sun goes down
You feel this immensity inside
I know I lost myself
When you’re gone
How can I be so strong
If all I see is dire?
Nobody told me that I had to face the time
I’m sure I don’t know the price
All the faces are fading, I don’t see them
In the middle of the crowd
I’m just another face
Can you see me from where you are?
I know I lost myself
When you’re gone
How can I be so strong
If all I see is dire?
Nobody told me that I had to face the time
Oh, I’m sure I don’t know the price
If I could go back in time
I’d choose to be by your side
