Cos'è
Laura Pausini
What is it
I never seize the moments
I always arrive a few tenths of a second later
And I never enjoy the sunsets and the finish lines
Even now I think about it
It was useless to pretend
To try a little more
And there's no shadow of passage
Through the streets of downtown
I return to the same point
As if it were a dream
It's another night that I can't close my eyes
Waiting for the day to come
And how stupid we are
Those like us who know how to get lost
When we shout rivers of words
That hurt
To make peace and then start over
And meanwhile I always wonder
What is it what is it what is it
That doesn't break inside me
I know what it is what it is
Maybe it's an indestructible thread
That doesn't let me lose track
So I always find myself
And while the world has divided into seven continents
There's me standing still
In the streets of memories
And it seems like I'm walking in the dark with the streetlights off
And I look for light
To open my eyes wide
And notice that they are no longer mine
And there's a glow
Or maybe a flash in this open sky
And it's not fair to give ourselves the worst
And blame the world
It's another night that I can't close my eyes
Waiting for the day to come
And how stupid we are
Those like us who know how to get lost
When we shout rivers of words
That hurt
To make peace and then start over
And meanwhile I always wonder
What is it what is it what is it
That doesn't break inside me
I know what it is what it is
Maybe it's an indestructible thread
That doesn't let me lose track
So I always find myself
Without having words and oxygen
I see clouds like vultures
My legs tremble and give in
And every time I don't understand
What is it what is it what is it
What is it what is it what is it
What is it what is it what is it
What is it
And how stupid we are
Those like us who know how to get lost
When we shout rivers of words
That hurt
To make peace and then start over
And meanwhile I always wonder
What is it what is it what is it
That doesn't break
Inside me
I know what it is what it is
Maybe it's an indestructible thread
That doesn't let me lose track
To finally find myself
