Eterno Retorno

Behind a can and a mailman
And a pair of gray eyes
It hides among the tiles
The wind picks up and takes off
Giving way to its inspiration

Oh! So long without seeing the sun
That it’s let sleep
The dear absence of a love
That’s leaving, leaving, leaving and I tell you that
A petty chemistry
The shoelaces get tangled and it starts ringing

Just like it comes, it goes and goes and goes
And it’s taken time to mature
Always under the sun, always under the sun
This song plays

I’ll break you down in empty chords
That I’ll fill later with your little tango and your rhythm
While I sketch you like I imagine you
While I sketch you

Copied on paper
I recognize you and it feels nice
And this urge to see you
No longer fits in my belly
No longer fits in my belly
No longer fits in my belly

While I sketch you like I imagine you
While I sketch you
My pencil feels like a hook

We’re limiting ourselves to so much more
Hanging from this neck
That still hasn’t broken
We’re suffocating with so much gas
Laugh at least at me
That’s what we’re here for
Laugh at least at me
That’s what we’re here for
