Misread – Kings of Convenience

“Misread”

If you want to be my friend
You want us to get along
Please do not expect me to
Wrap it up and keep it there
The observation I am doing could
Easily be understood
As cynical demeanor
But one of us misread
And what do you know
It happened again
A friend is not a means
You utilize to get somewhere
Somehow I didn’t notice
Friendship is an end
What do you know
It happened again
How come no-one told me
All throughout history
The loneliest people
Were the ones who always spoke the truth
The ones who made a difference
By withstanding the indifference
I guess it’s up to me now
Should I take that risk or just smile?
What do you know
It happened again
What do you know

Pioggia sui vetri.

La distanza tra me e il mondo,

E’ tutta in uno strato sottile,

Tra gli occhi e la realtà che mi circonda.

Vorrei un pò di silenzio,

E ascoltare ciò che sussurra il cuore.

Fuori ancora il temporale,

Penso all’Amore,

Si nasconde, si confonde tra la gente,

Tra sentimento e passione,

Sulle labbra,

Dentro un letto tra le calde lenzuola.

Time After Time – Cyndi Lauper

Lying in my bedI hear the clock tick and think of youCaught up in circlesConfusion is nothing newFlashback, warm nightsAlmost left behindSuitcase of memoriesTime after
 
Sometimes, you picture meI’m walking too far aheadYou’re calling to meI can’t hear what you’ve saidThen you say, “Go slow”I fall behindThe second hand unwinds
 
If you’re lost, you can look, and you will find meTime after timeIf you fall, I will catch you, I’ll be waitingTime after time
 
If you’re lost, you can look, and you will find meTime after timeIf you fall, I will catch you, I’ll be waiting (I will be waiting)Time after time
 
After my picture fadesAnd darkness has turned to grayWatching through windowsYou’re wondering if I’m okaySecrets stolen from deep inside (deep inside)And the drum beats out of time
 
If you’re lost, you can look, and you will find meTime after time
If you fall, I will catch you, I’ll be waitingTime after time
If you’re lost, you can look, and you will find meTime after timeIf you fall, I will catch you, I will be waitingTime after time
Time after time
 
I got a suitcase of memoriesI almost left behindTime after timeTime, time, timeYou said (you said)“Go slow”But I fall behind (I fall behind)Time and time and timeTime after timeOh-oh
