Lyrics[]
Ho sognato di volare con te
Su una bici di diamanti
Mi hai detto: "Sei cambiato
Non vedo più la luce nei tuoi occhi"
La tua paura cos'è? Un mare dove non tocchi mai
Anche se il sesso non è la via di fuga dal fondo, dai
Non scappare da qui
Non lasciarmi così
Nudo con i brividi
A volte non so esprimermi
E ti vorrei amare, ma sbaglio sempre
E ti vorrei rubare un cielo di perle
E pagherei per andar via
Accetterei anche una bugia
E ti vorrei amare, ma sbaglio sempre
E mi vengono i brividi, brividi, brividi
Tu, che mi svegli il mattino
Tu, che sporchi il letto di vino
Tu, che mi mordi la pеlle
Con i tuoi occhi da vipera
E tu sei il contrario di un angеlo
E tu sei come un pugile all'angolo
E tu scappi da qui
Mi lasci così
Nudo con i brividi
A volte non so esprimermi
E ti vorrei amare, ma sbaglio sempre
E ti vorrei rubare un cielo di perle
E pagherei per andar via
Accetterei anche una bugia
E ti vorrei amare, ma sbaglio sempre
E mi vengono i brividi, brividi, brividi
Dimmi che non ho ragione, eh
Vivo dentro una prigione, eh
Provo a restarti vicino
Ma scusa se poi mando tutto a puttane, eh
Non so dirti ciò che provo, è un mio limite
Per un "ti amo" ho mischiato droghe e lacrime
Questo veleno
Che ci sputiamo ogni giorno io non lo voglio più addosso
Lo vedi, sono qui
Su una bici di diamanti, uno fra tanti
Nudo con i brividi
A volte non so esprimermi
E ti vorrei amare, ma sbaglio sempre
E ti vorrei rubare un cielo di perle
E pagherei per andar via
Accetterei anche una bugia
E ti vorrei amare, ma sbaglio sempre
E mi vengono i brividi, brividi, brividi
I dreamed of flying with you
On a diamond bike
You said to me: "You have changed
I no longer see the light in your eyes "
What is your fear? A sea where you never touch
Even if sex isn't the escape from the bottom, come on
Don't run away from here
Don't leave me like this
Naked with shivers
Sometimes I don't know how to express myself
And I would like to love you, but I'm always wrong
And I'd like to steal a pearl sky from you
And I would pay to leave
I would also accept a lie
And I would like to love you, but I'm always wrong
And I get chills, chills, chills
You, who wake me up in the morning
You, who dirty the bed with wine
You, who bite my skin
With your viper eyes
And you are the opposite of an angel
And you are like a boxer on the corner
And you run away from here
Are you leaving me like that
Naked with shivers
Sometimes I don't know how to express myself
And I would like to love you, but I'm always wrong
And I'd like to steal a pearl sky from you
And I would pay to leave
I would also accept a lie
And I would like to love you, but I'm always wrong
And I get chills, chills, chills
Tell me I'm not right, huh
I live inside a prison, huh
I try to stay close to you
But sorry if then I send everything to hell, eh
I can't tell you what I feel, it's my limit
For an "I love you" I mixed drugs and tears
This poison
That we spit every day I don't want it anymore
You see, I'm here
On a diamond bike, one among many
Naked with shivers
Sometimes I don't know how to express myself
And I would like to love you, but I'm always wrong
And I'd like to steal a pearl sky from you
And I would pay to leave
I would also accept a lie
And I would like to love you, but I'm always wrong
And I get chills, chills, chills
