Giugno '84

I want
Clearer terms and less sex
I want
You to call me more often
I want
You to tell me a bit that you believe in me
I’m not asking for much but for sure
I want
To know why you chose a clean break
I’d like to hear from you every now and then and
I want
To really know how you are
Forgetting about everything else

Until just yesterday when you left me alone
If you came home you’d bring me a gift
And I’d console myself and you’d feel a bit better
I hid my need in that gift

AND NOW I REGRET, I REGRET
AND I DREAM THAT IT WILL BE
A LITTLE MORE BEAUTIFUL, MORE BEAUTIFUL
FOR ME
AND IF I THINK BACK TO YOUR LOOK
FROM JUNE '84
MY REGRET WILL ALWAYS BE YOU

I was
Secretly smart
Behind
My sketches and your radio
Dreams
Advertised on TV
While joy was at work
I hope
Forgetting how I was
I freeze
Leaving behind what is dark
Good
At masking unhappiness
Always in disguise my love

Until just yesterday when I stayed alone
Dawn was an enemy
And my couch was a spaceship
I played volleyball with the whole world
To not disturb you I took it slow

AND NOW I REGRET, I REGRET
AND I DREAM THAT IT WILL BE
A LITTLE MORE BEAUTIFUL, MORE BEAUTIFUL
FOR ME
AND IF I THINK BACK TO YOUR LOOK
FROM JUNE '84
MY REGRET WILL ALWAYS BE YOU

And glances, missteps
Portraits, New Year’s Eves
They fade away...
Happy like no one
In July '91
Thanks to you

AND NOW I REGRET, I REGRET
AND I DREAM THAT IT WILL BE
A LITTLE MORE BEAUTIFUL, MORE BEAUTIFUL
FOR ME
AND IF I THINK BACK TO YOUR LOOK
FROM JUNE '84
MY REGRET WILL ALWAYS BE YOU
