Saudade Diferente
Marília Tavares
Different Longing
There will always be
A part of me in you
To remind you of certain things
That only I know how to do
And when I press my tongue against a can
I’ll be the target of your late-night call
I’ve already made up my mind
That this is all I’m good for
Like a piece of meat
Like a quick release
If it depended on your love, I’d be in the red
How I wish I could mark your life
Like you mark my neck
Oh, if only I could hear you say I love you
When you’re wearing nothing but your skin
To be more, so much more, way more than just a sweet slap
But there’s a feeling that just doesn’t fit us
Our longing is different
