400 Estrellas

400 Stars

I remember the first time, I told you that you were water for my thirst
And I knew it as soon as I kissed you, that the fish always dies by the mouth
And I go from bar to bar looking for you in the bottles
The night is a hostel of four hundred stars
I know that what I say today, tomorrow can be used against me
But why do I need the night if you're not coming to sleep
If you're not here, the night is just a fraud
Everyone is mannequins disguised in the dance

I remember it was in any bar, that first time I saw you
You beautiful like a spring, me like a prince without pedigree
You went out to smoke a joint on the sidewalk, and I know well what weed smells like
Flirting with you, I asked you for a smoke, and you said yes

I don't know where to go anymore
There are no more options, I don't see you
Tell me if you're coming
It hurts a lot not to have you
You've gotten me used to waiting like this
Just waiting for you at night
Ignored calls when I want to say something
And I'm available 24/7 for you

I'm sitting in the backyard
Drinking and watching life go by
As I saw your skirt go by
Walking at its own pace, not knowing how to wait
And yet I would go out to look for you
400 stars and in a sea
I need group therapy
Looking at that hangar thinking of escaping
I take life slowly
I always find my solution
Your mouth a palace, me in space
Looking for a way to your heart
Or at least that's how I was taught
Living things as they are
And seeing life and its ways
All I can do is ask for forgiveness, and I
