Country Life
I've been thinking about how our life would be in the country
Face to the fire when we come back from the sea and the ground is wet
A garden of flowers and if it rains, barefoot
I don’t want to arrive and you not be here
I don’t think I can live it without you
How did this happen?
How long has it been since we stopped looking at each other
Like the sun reflects on the sea?
We faded away
I don’t even know if we wanted to fix it
Give ourselves a chance
We dreamed of a life in the country
And you stayed in the city
Telling you about my day while you laugh because when I talk I stumble
Lying in the shade of the vineyard we had dreamed of so much
Asleep and in the middle of thirteen even if the night wakes us up
Of everything I once hoped for
There’s nothing left
How did this happen?
How long has it been since we stopped looking at each other
Like the sun reflects on the sea?
We faded away
I don’t even know if we wanted to fix it
Give ourselves a chance
We dreamed of a life in the country
Trying to run, I end up falling
I want to convince myself that everything will be alright
But I dream of you and once again I lose faith
I lose faith
It’s like breathing when I’m drowning
They say it will pass but it hurts so much that
I can’t see the light in all this darkness
How did this happen?
How long has it been since we stopped looking at each other
Like the sun reflects on the sea?
We faded away
I don’t even know if we wanted to fix it
Give ourselves a chance
We dreamed of a life in the country
And you stayed in the city
