A Diez Centímetros de Ti
La Oreja de Van Gogh
Ten Centimeters Away from You
I review my lessons in front of the mirror
And 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 already know there's a world behind my gaze
You know how to open my doors, asking me if everything is okay
Or if something is wrong
And this is when your eyes leave me defenseless
Breaking into a thousand pieces my most sensible part
My theory falls apart, turned into a pile of words
That today return home alone
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 weighed as many centuries
And in the duration of a kiss, my time has been spent
You see, if I'm an idiot, now 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 into a thousand pieces my most sensible part
My theory falls apart, turned into a pile of words
That today return home alone
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
Make me feel so foolish, so strange
So far from myself, so close to your soul
I drift away
Only finding in the middle of the water impolite 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
