I never seize the moments
I always arrive a split second late
And I never enjoy sunsets or milestones
Even now I think back on it
It was pointless to pretend
And there's not a passing shadow
Through the downtown streets
I return to the same spot
It's another night I don't shut an eye
Waiting for the day to come
The ones like us who know how to get lost
When we shout rivers of words
To make peace and start again
And meanwhile I always ask myself
What is it, what is it, what is it
That won't break inside me
I know what it is, what it is
Maybe it's an indestructible thread that
Keeps me from losing the traces
So I can always find myself again
And while the world has split into seven continents
I'm standing still
In the streets of memories
And it feels like I walk in the dark with the streetlights off
And I search for light to open my eyes wide
And notice they're no longer mine
And there's a glow or maybe a flash in this open sky
And it's not right to give ourselves the worst and blame the world
It's another night I don't shut an eye
Waiting for the day to come
The ones like us who know how to get lost
When we shout rivers of words
To make peace and start again
And meanwhile I always ask myself
What is it, what is it, what is it
That won't break inside me
I know what it is, what it is
Maybe it's an indestructible thread that
Keeps me from losing the traces
So I can always find myself again
Without words or oxygen
I see clouds like vultures
My legs shake and give way
And every time I don't understand
What is it, what is it, what is it
What is it, what is it, what is it
What is it, what is it, what is it
The ones like us who know how to get lost
When we shout rivers of words
To make peace and start again
And meanwhile I always ask myself
What is it, what is it, what is it
That won't break inside me
I know what it is, what it is
Maybe it's an indestructible thread that
Keeps me from losing the traces
To finally find myself again
