Fiamme Negli Occhi

When I'm close to you I feel
That sometimes I lose my center of gravity
And I sway like a leaf

Actually like California
Half of me is a strong woman
Decisive like good wine
Half a Venus de Milo

Trying to embrace a man
And even if there are too many people here
I don't give a damn about the others
And I tell you anyway

Stay here for another minute
If winter is just a summer
That didn't know you
And doesn't know how you reduce me

You have flames in your eyes and in fact
If you look at me, you burn me
When I'm close to you I feel
That sometimes I lose my center of gravity

I float in a tub full of resentment
And you are the toaster that falls into it
I grate your tears
I'll season the pasta with them

I eat your melancholy
So maybe then it will pass
While you sway like a leaf
Actually like California
Stay here for another minute

If winter is just a summer
That didn't know you
And doesn't know how you reduce me
You have flames in your eyes and in fact
If you look at me, you burn me

Stay here and burn me slowly
Like basil in the sun
On an Italian balcony
That doesn't know how you reduce me
You have flames in your eyes and in fact
If you look at me, you burn me

If you look at me, you burn me
If you look at me, you burn me
If you look at me, you burn me
You burn me, you burn me
If you look at me, you feel
