Pianeti

I wait for you where the sea is no longer visible
Where the day doesn't come if you're not there
Where even my secrets are then revealed
Where the last ones have strength and sing together
I wait for you, I swear I do it inside a bar
Where from inside I'll see you arrive
In that place where the moon hangs on a kite
Where anxieties are accepted and become cures
I wait for you in the second before time
In the lies I didn't tell you to feel lost
In your hair that I can never forget
In the curses I spat out to make myself feel
There will be a place, you'll see, for all your fears
You'll see that it's beautiful to walk without ever knowing
Without ever knowing where your steps lead
It's the imagination that turns stones into planets

And I missed flights
And I missed trains
But I found the world under my feet
And I lost time
For the songs
When I shouted at you and you didn't understand me

I wait for you because it's in the waiting that I manage
To find myself, to find you, to find a meaning
I've always written maybe to feel less alone
In those evenings where the sky takes you by the hand
And wait for me up there on the big wheel
Where the world is just a point to leave behind
Take me by the hand and let's draw a thousand steps
It's the imagination that turns stones into planets

And I missed flights
And I missed trains
But I found the world under my feet
And I lost time
For the songs
When I shouted at you and you didn't understand

That I was a step away from losing you
But you were a step away from losing that
For all those evenings when I lost you and I don't even know why
That I was a step away from losing you
And you were a step away from losing me
I who never had anything real except you

Like the light here filtering through this window
Like life that changes but remains the same
Like a poet who kisses the pain
Like the night that steals silences and gives you fears
I wait for you in a room that is suspended high
Between the light of the stars and this damned hell
And you live for me the life that I refuse
I wait for you where I talk to you while remaining forever silent

That I was a step away from losing you
But you were a step away from losing that
For all those evenings when I lost you and I don't even know why
That I was a step away from losing you
And you were a step away from losing me
I who never had anything real except you
