Ultimo Intento

I saw you, thought you were still here
I dreamed you’d come back to see me here
Like it was before
Tell me what you’ve done, I don’t get it
Are you crying or laughing?
Teach me to hear you from afar
'Cause you’re not here anymore

Dreaming and seeing the world like I never would
Playing, fighting, knowing you’d always be there
As close as you always were
And seeing the world like I’d never see it
Playing, fighting, knowing you’d always be there
As close as you always were

Everything crumbles as it goes
Everything crumbles and it’s not in vain

Why are you smiling if nothing’s real?
Mark the cards before you play
It would be perfect in the distance I made yesterday
I tried to think it through, didn’t look for it

Maybe (maybe, maybe)
I never let you down (never let you down)
From what I remember, you were running to where
You’ll never be

I don’t know what happened but yesterday was the afternoon of
Summer '96, what happened to us?
You don’t remember those afternoons on the street doing nothing
We did, we did everything we had to do
Give me the red light, please
Stop time, I don’t feel bad
But remind me
Of the air from yesterday...

We are the promise we made
You thought I’d forget one day
We are a love, we are one, just you and me
I don’t want to see you cry, I know my name’s on your lips
I’m present
You change, and that’s why everything ends
You change and don’t come back where you’re needed
Just lie to me or leave me behind
In your hands, I’m just another trace
You change and don’t come back where you’re needed...

And even though there’s no more alone
I hope it happens and from what I remember, you were running to where
You’d never be
What (maybe, maybe)
What once (never let you down)
I thought was important for just a moment
I understand the weight of listening (never let you down)
