Who knows if you still get up half asleep
If you warm your chest with the cup between your fingers
If you take a shower on your toes with your back a bit arched
If you try on all your clothes and there's never a yes

Who knows if you're looking for where the car is parked
If in the middle of traffic you put on your pencil
If you turn to me with your moonstruck face
I see you and ask why I'm still here
If it's better to be there or not to be there

I'm not there
Where you were
How much the dawn surprised us
In that storm that one summer already left
In an eternal kiss that stunned our hearts
Among the desires and promises that the world did not hear
I feel as if I were there

Who knows if you always arrive at the last minute, out of breath
If you eat little and don't find yourself slimmed down
If you train with the same worn and wet shirt
If you see yourself with your friends laughing at who

Who knows if at dinner you just got a little drunk
If you come back late and abandon yourself down exhausted
If you lean on my pillow with your head already drowsy
And it weighs on you a sense of living like this
That's like being there and not being there

I'm not there
Where you were
While a star lost us
Along the false flat that one winter betrayed us
Under that snow that faded our steps
In the caresses in the hugs that the frost stiffened
And I push as if I were there

I'm not there
Where you will be
And our love that withered
With the words and with the notes
That then time silenced
That I sing as if I were there
