‘Due Vite’ Lyrics
We are the only ones awake in the whole universe
And I still don’t know your desert well
Maybe it’s somewhere in my heart
Where the sun is always off
Where sometimes I lose you
But if I want I’ll take you
We are stuck in such a time
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’m out of excuses
And I have no more defenses
We are a book on the floor
In an empty house
Which looks like ours
Coffee with lemon
Against hangover
You look like a blurred photo
And we fucked one more night
Outside 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
There’s no music here
And you don’t sleep
And where will you be, where are you going
When life then exaggerates
All the runs and slaps, mistakes you make
When something upsets you
I know that you don’t sleep, sleep, sleep, sleep, never sleep
What turns do two lives
We are the only ones awake in the whole universe
Shouting a little rage on a rooftop
That no one feels this way
That no one watches movies anymore
The flowers in your room
My chain mail
We are a book on the floor
In an empty house
Which looks like ours
Lost among people
How many words
Without ever an answer
And we fucked one more night
Outside 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
There’s no music here
And you don’t sleep
And where will you be, where are you going
When life then exaggerates
All the runs and slaps, mistakes you make
When something upsets you
I know that you are not sleeping
Turn off the light even if you don’t like it
We stay wrapped up in the dark
Just from 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 will explode
I’ll be there to tell you you’re wrong, you’re wrong and you know it
There’s no music here
I know that you don’t sleep, sleep, sleep, sleep, never sleep
What turns do two lives
