A me ricordi il mare

You remind me of the sea
And not because of the vacations
We took together

But because of your swaying
Between the gesture of grabbing
And the one of holding back

There are valid reasons why I should avoid telling you
But since you're writing to me, I'll say
That I understood it right away
Because you're...
Because it's you who, when you arrive, smile
And it makes me feel great
And it's always you who, if you decide, turn around
And stab me in an instant
So it happens that it seems to me that it's okay
And instead, it's not
And if it gets better, then it will get worse
Or
I'm sure it's going badly when I get there
And I tell you, you tell me 'really'?
And again
It happens to me that it's okay
And instead, it's not
And if it gets better, then it will get worse
Or
I'm sure it's going badly when I get there
And I tell you, you tell me 'is it okay'?
But I can't go on like this

You remind me of the sea
Not because of the reflections
Or the spoiled sauce
The mediocrity of the conversations
Under the umbrella
The sudoku that doesn't add up
And what was written in pen
Is already to be erased
It's like love
It goes from pocket to pocket like a lighter wants
It comes back to you when you have nothing to light
If we exclude what little remains
Again and again and again

Kisses, kisses and hugs
That turn into nooses
And the tighter they get
The more they hide troubles
Like a dog curling up
On your poor rags
And slowly you go down
Like a Socci program
Slowly you go down
But shortly after you rise
Only you don't realize
The fake smiles
The thoughts you push away
The things you leave behind
For trivial whims

You remind me of the sea
Not because of the beach umbrellas
Or the traffic jam
The malfunction of my air conditioner
The free fall on rocks without shoes
To act like fools

This is a bit the taste
Of everything understood
Including the consumption
I've already drunk it
Yet I'm still too thirsty
Especially when you kill me
Again and again

The one who holds back
You remind me of the sea
And not because of the vacations
We took together
But because of your swaying
Between the gesture of grabbing
And the one of holding back
