Le Cose In Comune

The things we have in common are 4,850
I've been counting them forever, since you told me
But come on, are you also from the '60s?
We have two arms, two hands, two legs, two feet
Two ears and only one brain
Only the gaze is not exactly the same
Because mine is normal, but yours is too beautiful
The things we have in common
Are very easy to identify
We like loud music
As long as the stereo can handle it
We like Daniele, Battisti, Lorenzo
The screams of Prince, The Police
We put on a CD before falling asleep
And it must be there when we wake up

Because when I sleep... You sleep
When I talk... You talk
When I laugh... You laugh
When I cry... You cry
When I sleep... You sleep
When I talk... You talk
When I laugh... You laugh
When I cry... You laugh

The things we have in common
Are so many that it's almost scary
Both of us have been living for over twenty years
And both of us, however, are under thirty
We like to eat, sleep, travel, dance
Smile and make love
You see, there are many things in common
That listing them would take at least three hours... But

So what is it
What else do you need, for me an hour was enough

"The things we have in common!", remember
You were the one who said it first
You said, "look, the same place
The same potatoes, the same Brachetto!"
And with each question, a new confirmation
An identical rhythm of wine and laughter
And then the excitement of that first kiss
The precise, perfect, glued lips
Hugging you, studying your body
Seeing that your face was already all red
And meanwhile, discovering amazed and moved
That you had my exact same bones
And so I ask you, isn't it enough?
What else do you need to be sure
With all the things we have in common
Wouldn't the union between us be perfect?

When I sleep... You sleep
When I talk... You talk
When I laugh... You laugh
When I cry... You cry
When I sleep... You sleep
When I talk... You talk
When I laugh... You laugh
When I cry... You laugh... But

So what is it
What else do you need, for me an hour was enough

The things we have in common are 4,850
I've been counting them forever, since you told me
"But come on, are you also from the '60s?"
We have two arms, two hands, two legs, two feet
Two ears and only one brain
Only the gaze is not exactly the same
Because mine is normal, but yours, oh: It's too beautiful!
Too beautiful!

When I sleep... You sleep
When I talk... You talk
When I laugh... You laugh
And when I cry... You laugh
Too beautiful!
