Lyrics[]

Siamo i soli svegli in tutto l'universo
E non conosco ancora bene il tuo deserto
Forse è in un posto del mio cuore dove il sole è sempre spento
Dove a volte ti perdo, ma se voglio ti prendo
Siamo fermi in un tempo così, che solleva le strade
Con il cielo ad un passo da qui, siamo i mostri e le fate
Dovrei telefonarti, dirti le cose che sento
Ma ho finito le scuse e non ho più difese

Siamo un libro sul pavimento in una casa vuota chе sembra la nostra
Il caffè col limone contro l'hangover, sеmbri una foto mossa
E ci siamo fottuti ancora una notte fuori un locale
E meno male

Se questa è l'ultima canzone e poi la luna esploderà
Sarò lì a dirti che sbagli, ti sbagli e lo sai
Qui non arriva la musica
E tu non dormi
E dove sarai? Dove vai quando la vita poi esagera
Tutte le corse, gli schiaffi, gli sbagli che fai
Quando qualcosa ti agita
Tanto lo so che tu non dormi, dormi, dormi, dormi, dormi mai
Che giri fanno due vite

Siamo i soli svegli in tutto l'universo
A gridare un po' di rabbia sopra un tetto
Che nessuno si sente così
Che nessuno li guarda più i film
I fiori nella tua camera
La mia maglia metallica

Siamo un libro sul pavimento in una casa vuota che sembra la nostra
Persi tra le persone, quante parole senza mai una risposta
E ci siamo fottuti ancora una notte fuori un locale
E meno male

Se questa è l'ultima canzone e poi la luna esploderà
Sarò lì a dirti che sbagli, ti sbagli e lo sai
Qui non arriva la musica
E tu non dormi
E dove sarai? Dove vai quando la vita poi esagera
Tutte le corse, gli schiaffi, gli sbagli che fai
Quando qualcosa ti agita
Tanto lo so che tu non dormi

Spegni la luce anche se non ti va
Restiamo al buio avvolti, solo dal suono della voce
Al di là della follia che balla in tutte le cose
Due vite guarda che disordine

Se questa è l'ultima canzone (Canzone e poi la luna esploderà)
Sarò lì a dirti che sbagli, ti sbagli e lo sai
Qui non arriva la musica
Tanto lo so che tu non dormi, dormi, dormi, dormi, dormi mai
Che giri fanno due vite

Due vite

We are the only ones awake in the whole universe
And I don't know your desert well yet
Maybe it's in a place in my heart
Where the sun is always off
Where sometimes I lose you
But if I want I'll catch you
 
We are stuck in a time like this
Which lifts the streets
With the sky one step away from here
We are the monsters and the fairies
I should phone you
Tell you the things I feel
But I've run out of excuses
And I have no more defences
 
We are a book on the floor
In an empty house
That looks like our own
Coffee with lemon
Against the hangover
You look like a blurred photo
 
And we screwed up one more night
Out a club
And thank goodness
 
If this is the last
Song and then the moon explodes
I'll be there to tell you you're wrong, you're wrong and you know it
The music doesn't come here
And you don't sleep
And where will you be, where are you going
When life then exaggerates
All the runs and slaps, the mistakes you make
When something upsets you
And I know that you never sleep, sleep, sleep, sleep, never sleep
What turns two lives take
 
We are the only ones awake in the whole universe
Shouting a little rage above a roof
That no one feels like this
That no one watches movies anymore
The flowers in your room
My metallic shirt
 
We are a book on the floor
In an empty house
That looks like our own
Lost among people
How many words
Without ever an answer
 
And we screwed up one more night
Out a club
And thank goodness
 
If this is the last
Song and then the moon will explode
I'll be there to tell you you're wrong, you're wrong and you know it
The music doesn't come here
And you don't sleep
And where will you be, where are you going
When life then exaggerates
All the running and slapping, the mistakes you make
When something upsets you
 
And I know you don't sleep anyway
You turn off the light even if you don't like it
We remain in the dark surrounded
Only by the sound of the voice
Beyond the madness that dances in all things
Two lives, look at the mess
 
If this is the last
Song and then the moon explodes
I'll be there to tell you you're wrong, you're wrong and you know it
The music doesn't come here
And I know that you never sleep, sleep, sleep, sleep, never sleep
What turns two lives take
 
Two lives
