I'm on the road to vacation
But I don't know how to open the windows
Why do the walls have your presence
Why do books have chapters
They say love lasts three years
And I've never been good at counting
What is this race with no winner
I didn't think I was just participating

I wanted to say hello to you again
I wanted to dream your nights again
I didn't think the "forevers"
Could stop on a Monday

And it's just a slap, it's just a click
I'll trust the direction of the wind
But now it's not just my eyes that sting
I'm going to have a little setback

Who woke up the silence
I hadn't heard it forever
Who lacked vigilance
I got hit by a truck

Life without you is the worst noise
The kind that wakes you up in the night
Like an alarm at 4:30
I swear, absence is cruel

I swear, absence is cruel

I've rarely felt alive
But now there's no doubt
I've never had an accident
I crashed on the road

But I think man's worst enemy
Is just time that smashes us
I took a blow to the sternum
It stings in the heart, damn it

What is this race with no winner
I didn't want to just participate
I dove in with both arms
Without trying to learn to swim

I took a hit without insurance
I was on the road to vacation
I didn't think I'd pay so much
Damn, it's hard without you all the time

I wanted to say hello to you again
I wanted to dream your nights again
I didn't think the "forevers"
Could stop on a Monday

And it's just a slap, it's just a click
I'll trust the direction of the wind
But now it's not just my eyes that sting
I'm going to have a little setback

Who woke up the silence
I hadn't heard it forever
Who lacked vigilance?
I got hit by a truck

Life without you is the worst noise
The kind that wakes you up in the night
Like an alarm at 4:30
I swear, absence is cruel

Who woke up the silence
I hadn't heard it forever
Who lacked vigilance?
I got hit by a truck

Life without you is the worst noise
The kind that wakes you up in the night
Like an alarm at 4:30
I swear, absence is cruel

I swear, absence is cruel
