A Diez Centímetros de Tí
La Oreja de Van Gogh
Ten Centimeters Away from You
I review my lessons in front of the mirror
I tell myself that in the long run, what's good is what's right
I breathe slowly, turn towards the bar
where you are
And you who know the map of my soul
you know there's a world behind my gaze
you know how to open my doors, asking if everything is okay
or if something is wrong
And this is when your eyes leave me defenseless
breaking my most sensible part into a thousand pieces
I know my theory turned into a pile of words
that return home on their own
Chorus:
Ten centimeters away from you
Ten light-years from tomorrow
what do exact sciences matter
if you and I are like this
Ten centimeters away from you
Ten light-years from tomorrow
your charm is loaded weapons
with promises to fulfill
promises on the sand
that the sea will erase when it comes
The years that passed felt like so many centuries
in which the time a kiss lasts has been reversed
you see, if I'm an idiot who loves having to forget again
I don't need to swear to you, dear companion
that I shouldn't have loved you, yet I do
so don't cheat, you already know well what my weakness is
And this is when your eyes leave me defenseless
breaking my most sensible part into a thousand pieces
I know my theory turned into a pile of words
that return home on their own
Ten centimeters away from you
Ten light-years from tomorrow
what do exact sciences matter
if you and I are like this
Ten centimeters away from you
Ten light-years from tomorrow
your charm is loaded weapons
with promises that manage to
make me feel so foolish, so strange,
so far from myself, so close to your soul,
I drift away, only find in the middle of the water, ill-mannered promises
Ten centimeters away from you
Ten light-years from tomorrow
what do exact sciences matter
if you and I are like this
Ten centimeters away from you
Ten light-years from tomorrow
your charm is loaded weapons
with promises to fulfill
promises on tides
your name and mine in the sand
promises under sentence
that the sea will erase when it comes...
