what if-

She's talking but all you can do is stare,
The way her eyelids open and close with such grace,
The million shapes her body takes,
oh we could try, do you believe we could,
Because sometimes i feel just as i'd die,
if i knew this is the way this ends for good.

I think and think again
You are summers, you are falls and we probably can,
Because if we count the times we put pieces back together
And the times i slept on your shoulder,
All the times i told you, look i'm in love,
The times i arrived, bags at your door,
When you said okay,
and i said d'accord
To fall on the floor
To watch a broken ring wrapped around your finger


Please wait,
Please wait
This kind of beauty is something i have never seen
And if you're now leaving,
Well i learned nothing at all
Take back the images in my head
Because the least you can do is make me forget your name
And all these days of us.

realities

Everything is going so fast,
and the cars full of strangers laughing seem like old photographs,
Old photographs of a life i used to live
things i used to do,
loves i used to feel
and the bottles spinning,
let's make each other all feel better
and forget this is a world away from our reality
people we want to be become and that we'll never really be,
i'll never fly to you or the foreign countries we meant to go to,
forever ago,
forever ago

You were like a kiss in the morning light,
Sometimes the weather would help, but most often it'd be just so bad
It brought back your flaws and marked your face with angry lines
Put your hands face down on the coffee table,
Please let today be mine
please let this be mine

it wasn't my honour in your hands
And those notes everywhere never helped.
it was not my honour in your hands
And your discrete falls behind closed doors never helped

the nature of things

Come to yours and my senses
To a door locked and to a street of promises
won't you come running
won't you try and tell me...

How many times i fell down those stairs
When you were playing me and i was playing fair
And if you let me say something more
I'd say it's been a lifetime and i'm still sore

I'm wrecking those paintings one by one
One by one and you're watching
And for once, i just don't feel anything

I can hear them run in between your walls
Late at night and early mornings,
And they scare me but atleast,
atleast they remind me you're still here

Smooth skin is made from touching
You taught me this like everything
And i'm learning you, i'm learning about your bones and skin
It's becoming my favorite life and my favorite thing
Arms covered and legs shaking
Tonight, it means something to be here.
We are night travellers
Night travellers through hundreds of empty fields.
One day i will have a rooftop for us,
And even if we're far gone, we'll go back to us

how loved

No matter how loved i am it's never enough
I go from bridge to bridge
From city to city and day by day
Looking for another dream to dream and another way away
Away from people who understand
You are all so wrong, it's not the same
From last December to this May,
Walking to the bars i leave and leaving marks that stay
Over this and over them
Over some love, and some more pain
It's still so hard
Oh so hard.
How loved
How hard
How loved
How sad

intrusion

They sit with their legs crossed and face to face
Id love to believe its where we should be,
but its not our place.
I'm a little out of luck so far,
But we go to great lenghts,
I want to be free so bad,
But i'm still in this cage.
We talk in tones, we talk in voices made to be whispered,
We want to be wise, but we just sound obsurd
-this could be the meaning of the beautiful life, but it feels like a curse.

Loved one, he is singing a tune i don't know,
do you hear him too?
He is in the room as i'm caressing the sheets i don't know,
do you see him too?
