Splendida

Splendid
It's been three days of snow, let's talk for a moment if you want
How am I, how are you, I never ask you
We've been avoiding each other forever
We're not movie stars but we like to make it dramatic
We're half-lit like neon lights above bars
We pretend nothing is wrong
We weren't like this, do you remember too?
I used to tell you: Do you know what you do to me, how splendid you are
And now we're here, I hurt you, and you hurt me too
But even now you know, I would tell you
How splendid you are
How splendid you are
It doesn't go like in the movies, here those who exaggerate get hurt
Tell me what you want, let's go out of town
Let's take the last taxi
But there's so much traffic? This suspense is dramatic
When you look at me like that, I want to escape from here
It feels like we never arrive
We weren't like this, do you remember too?
I used to tell you: Do you know what you do to me, how splendid you are
And now we're here, I hurt you, and you hurt me too
But even now you know, I would tell you
How splendid you are
Oh, oh
How splendid you are
I see myself in a river, you're here
Maybe it just went like this
But even if you leave, I know you know
How splendid you are
How splendid you are
And now it went like this
You don't even notice anymore?
Maybe you don't even know what you do to me
How splendid you are
It just went like this
You understood too
But even if you leave, I would tell you for the last time
How splendid you are
How splendid you are
Oh, oh-oh, oh
