Sometimes, I wonder
What can you see
When your eyes wander
All over the sea?
The city breathes
Hoarse and silently
She doesn't care, she's
Sleeping soundly

You told me nothing
Makes you satisfied
I'm sorry, I got nothing
To change your mind
Won't you take a seat?
'Cause this city's bound
To keep your feet
On the ground

(Can you see the sun melt?
Look, it's morning
By now, I know I felt
Something)

All I can do is stay
Still, by your side
All I can do is stray
From the path I abide
And the city, she will follow
Wherever we go, wide-eyed
'Cause she's hollow
Empty and tongue-tied

And the city light
She couldn't care less
If deep into the night
Moments seem timeless
I need you so much closer
If you don't mind
Perhaps, would you leave
This city behind?

Per il mio attuale fidanzato. Al tempo, ci stavamo solo frequentando e le cose erano talmente difficili che varrebbe la pena scriverci sopra un romanzo drammatico. Questa poesia, invece, voleva essere soltanto la trasposizione di come mi ero sentita nei primi momenti trascorsi con lui, consapevole della mia difficoltà nel provare emozioni che siano reali.
