The first night we fit together and then, sweating, we peel apart
Back to back like a long caress that slowly slips away
The thousandth suffocates us, need for air and need for space
Our feet persist because they touch, then we avoid each other because we tire

We dream of an unknown taste in the mouth
Nostalgia no longer has an effect, it's a pill that chokes us
Then there's this woman who circles around, who dances and sows doubt
And who waters it with her smiles, my god the sensation is sweet

The fragile balance
When we navigate between the banks
I start, you finish
The storm keeps us immobile

She presses where it hurts, until I crack
Until my values collapse and I act
While she lies to me, everything explodes, there will be before and after
Like a dose of adrenaline sulfurous injected

Then I come home every night, each time a little later
Before each kiss it's the shower, to say hello and goodnight
I feel like I'm going crazy, it's arrhythmia in the myocardium
Am I losing my footing, is this really the end of our story

The fragile balance
When we navigate between the banks
I start, you finish
The storm keeps us immobile

This night you didn't sleep, I found you in the dark
Eyes swollen with contempt, sadness, and rage
Voice broken by tears, you want to know all the details
Where, when, how, what she has more than you

Like a helpless child, I try to take you in my arms
But the door slams, my life has just shattered
And the silence beats me when I no longer hear your voice
I try to measure the extent of the damage, but it's too late

The fragile balance
When we navigate between the banks
I start, you finish
The storm keeps us immobile

They tell me you're doing well and that you've moved on
That he's nothing like me, that he'll never hurt you
But I'm not doing well, I haven't moved on
I just find myself like a fool in a bad romantic comedy

Listening to our songs, watching our old movies
Until I know by heart the first letters we wrote to each other
But as love is too strong, it doesn't want us to run away
And I find you at my door with your two little suitcases

And the first night we fit together and then, sweating, we peel apart
Back to back like a long caress that slowly slips away
The light suffocates us, need for air and need for space
And I feel like every night, it's you who comes home a little later.
