Entrelinhas

I remember saying
In another love song
That this time would pass
And soon the pain would cease
I saw the days dragging on
For an endless period
I found myself asking life
What it still held for me

I heard shallow promises
And elevator music
I heard empty people
Talking to me about love
I thought there was no way out
For our situation
I cried every time
I heard our song

But I don't give up believing in us
Because it's written, it was meant to happen

I see in you, my home
A safe harbor for the heart to dock
I want you just for me
I can't let the distance take you away again
Far from me

I saw my life take a thousand turns
And always come back to you
I felt the despair
Of having to see you leave
I lived so long away
Trying to find myself
To discover that in your chest
Was always my place

I searched for meaning
For these unspoken words
And I learned that joy
Is what you mean
I got used to the surface
Of your life that is a sea
But if I find you
I don't mind diving in

And I don't give up believing in us
Because it's written, it was meant to happen

I see in you my home
A safe harbor for the heart to dock
I want you just for me
I can't let the distance take you away again

Tears, books, speeches
Clarice, Marcelo, and Mallu
Loving you in moments, minutes
Distance between southeast and south
The crying, the laughter, the skin
Pitanga, your scent in the air
Meeting, station, euphoria
Your smile, my gaze

I see in you my home
A safe harbor for the heart to dock
I want you just for me
I can't let the distance take you away again
