Amore Desperato

Okay, I remember when we wouldn’t get up in the morning
And smoke until dawn down at Marechiaro
I never really remember how it all started
You never really stop when we begin

If freedom is a teenage mistake
Loving without asking, hating without understanding
What is our love? It’s not just words
It’s a love beyond, a shop in Piazza Sempione

Now where do I go?
Without a but, without an if, without you
Desperate love
You know better than me, that you’re better
That I’m not capable
What a stupid line
I’m sorry, but you know
Sometimes it’s complicated

It’s pointless to defend you from me

And if we spend another night
Between making love and fighting
What difference does it make
If it’s just you and me?

These aren’t wishes, it’s the law of attraction
Life, yeah, it’s a snapshot, an attention disorder
And you who’ve been there, you’re always like a friend
That little house, that nest on Via Tina Pica

And then, yeah, in that shot, a colorless hug
That song, Always and Forever by De Gregori
What do others know about living like us?
Really, always and forever wherever we’ll be

Now where do I go?
Without a but, without an if, without you
Desperate love
You know better than me, that you’re better
That I’m not capable
What a stupid line
I’m sorry, but you know
Sometimes it’s complicated

It’s pointless to defend you from me

And if we spend another night
Between making love and fighting
What difference does it make
If it’s just you and me?

Yeah, maybe there’s a cure or maybe not
And you have to lose
And maybe not, I won’t find you again
You never asked me for anything, ah, ah

Maybe one day, maybe just one day
A flower to pick
That flower, yeah, a minute to trample it
Years to grow

And now where do I go?
Without a but, without an if, without you
Desperate love
You know better than me, that you’re better
That I’m not capable
What a stupid line
I’m sorry, but you know
Sometimes it’s complicated
