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
_____
To try a bit more
_____
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
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
