Avrei voluto parlarti
Per convincerti a fare sul serio
Tu che giocavi col cuore e con le parole
Quanto tempo buttato per riuscire a spiegarti
Che ti amavo davvero
Non ci siamo inventati
Non ci siamo cercati
Non ci siamo mai persi, persi

Avrei voluto guardarti
E intuire ogni tuo desiderio
Regalarti un sospiro anche stando lontano
Perché avevo paura che riuscissi a vedere
Come un lampo negli occhi, un amore sincero
Si accartoccia la rabbia
Come frecce di carta
Quando incontrano il muro

Avrei voluto io di più
Ti avrei voluto anch'io

Avrei voluto legarti
Per poterti ogni giorno guardare
Per cambiare il cammino
Strada del nostro destino
E ancorarti al mio seno per non farti portare
Da una vita che vola
Ferma il cuore un momento
A quei giorni d'inverno e si scioglierà il ghiaccio
E si scioglierà il ghiaccio
E si scioglierà il ghiaccio

Avrei voluto inseguirti
Ma l'orgoglio non è mai veloce
È soltanto un pretesto per coprire un errore
Anche quando scoprivo che era il nostro domani
Che voleva far pace
Quella ruga sul viso che chiamavi 'espressione'
Ora è il letto di un fiume
Quante notti a pensare?
Quante lacrime amare
Han bagnato l'anima?

Avrei voluto io di più
Avrei voluto io di più
Avrei voluto io di più
Ti avrei voluto anch'io

I would've wanted to talk to you
To convince you you'd better be serious
You, who played with my hear and with your words
So much wasted time, trying to explain you
That I really loved you
We didn't found each other
We didn't look for each other
We were never lost, lost

I would've wanted to look at you
And intuit all your desires
Give you a sigh, if only from a distance
Because I was afraid you could see it
Like a lamp in your eyes, a sincere love
The anger wraps itself
Like a paper plane
When it meets the wall

I would've wanted more
I would've wanted you too

I would've wanted to tie you
To be able to look at you every day
To change the route
The road of our destiny
And stick you to my breast, so that I don't let you go
To a life which flies away
The heart stops for a while
In those winter days and the ice will melt
And the ice will melt
And the ice will melt

I would've wanted to follow you
But pride is never fast
It's just a pretext to cover a mistake
Even when I found out that it was our tomorrow
That wanted to conclude peace
The wrinkle on my face that you called 'expression'
Is now the soil of a river
How many nights to think?
How many bitter tears
Have wet my soul?

I would've wanted more
I would've wanted more
I would've wanted more
I would've wanted you too
