Mare Calmo

I watched you as I walked away
In the bags, I also had my soul
That weighed as much as a lie with you
And the calm sea doesn't make a sailor expert, but
We drop the anchor if we still argue
And standing still is not peace but a truce, come on
There's more than one port on the way back
I'll follow the insecurities that make us so distant
Like that time when you got off at the wrong station
I go back to get you, but no, you're not right

Don't tell me you're leaving
It's six o'clock, what are you doing?
If you should find that door closed
Under the doormat, I left you my spare key
You'll ask me if you can
Stay with me, but you know
Trying again seems like a dive into the past
Today I turn the page, what has been is over

I hear your steps on the stairs at the time you return
Sometimes I'm sleeping, you bring meaning at noon
With a crooked hat and a broken umbrella
Under a flood, I come to you in the wrong
The wind bends the books inside the shop with a breath
No one explains why I suffer
Getting drunk on words until the sun comes to warm us
Still that fear that tomorrow might be too late
I see the angels of songs in a glass of Chianti
The sea that cries there has corals you crash into
We keep ghosting each other and blaming each other, I want to forget you, but
Among the noises of the market, I only hear you calling me

Don't tell me you're leaving
It's six o'clock, what are you doing?
If you should find that door closed
Under the doormat, I left you my spare key
You'll ask me if you can
Stay with me, but you know
Trying again seems like a dive into the past
Today I turn the page, what has been is over
