Ensina-Me a Voar
Bárbara Tinoco
Teach Me to Fly
I know, I've seen you somewhere and if I go
I know I'll hit rock bottom and it will hurt
Love, you're beautiful and all
But I know all your tricks
And what you do when you leave
I feel like I've seen everything
Before you arrived
I never knew you
But I know where you've been
I saw everything in your eyes
When you looked at me
Your story exposed
By knowing you without you noticing
Good like any addiction
Edge of a precipice
Who knows if I die
Or if I learn to fly
Small paradise
On earth here with you
Who knows if I drown
Or if I learn to breathe
I dive and let myself drown
I jump and let myself be held
Who knows if you teach me to fly
You're just an impulse
That I've been holding back
A version of me
That I let die
Love, but when the lights go out
The monster under the bed
Has my human form
Your fantasies
Your corrupted tastes
I treat them as you
For they are already familiar to me
I saw everything in your eyes
They are old habits
That I laid in bed
And thought were asleep
Good like any addiction
Edge of a precipice
Who knows if I die
Or if I learn to fly
Small paradise
On earth here with you
Who knows if I drown
Or if I learn to breathe
I dive and let myself drown
I jump and let myself be held
Who knows if you teach me to fly
Now you're a good girl
And they don't like the life you had
The places where, or the things that
You did with whoever you wanted
Now they will call it a phase
Do you remember the college days
The places where, or the things that
Good like any addiction
Edge of a precipice
Who knows if I die
Or if I learn to fly
Small paradise
On earth here with you
Who knows if I drown
Or if I learn to breathe
I dive and let myself drown
I jump and let myself be held
Who knows if you teach me to fly
