A Un Isolato Da Te
Francesco Renga
A Block Away From You
The curtain sways in the room
And it doesn’t feel like there’s any air
You feel out of place once again
In the Christmas atmosphere
Someone’s singing on the street
It sounds like a brand new song
Yet if you try to sing it back
You find it in your memory
You’ve heard it said that love
Lives just a block away from you
Why haven’t you met it before you
Made the big mistake of believing
That true love doesn’t exist
And that everything around you is sad
Rather than being normal
You chose to be happy
No one can vouch for you
But the risk doesn’t scare you
Admit you’re capable of loving
And don’t let yourself be loved
Because you can’t bear
The weight of my words
You’ve heard it said that love
Lives just a block away from you
Why haven’t you met it before you
Made the big mistake of believing
That true love doesn’t exist
And that everything around you is sad
Because reason doesn’t allow
Objections to what it can’t see
Even if you don’t know what you’re missing
You can feel its absence strongly
You’ve heard it said that love
Lives just a block away from you
Why haven’t you met it before you
Made the big mistake of believing
That true love doesn’t exist
Look at yourself in the mirror
You’re not sad anymore
