Marco Mengoni – Due Vite – Lyrics with English translation
We’re the only sane people in the entire universe
And I still don’t know much about your desert
Maybe it’s somewhere in my heart where the sun never shines
Sometimes I lose you, but if I want, I’ll hold you
We’re stuck in times like this, it lifts up the streets
In the sky one step away from here, we are monsters, goblins
I should call you and tell you what I heard
But I’ve run out of excuses, I have no more defenses
We’re the only sane people in the entire universe
And I still don’t know much about your desert
Maybe it’s somewhere in my heart, the sun is always turned off
Sometimes I lose you, but if I want to, I’ll catch you
we are stuck in times like this
In the sky one step away from here, we are monsters, goblins
I should call you and tell you how I feel
But I’ve run out of excuses, I have no more defenses
We are a book on the floor of an empty house that looks like our own
Lemon coffee hangover, you look like a blurry photo
we fucked up *one more night
thank goodness
We are a book on the floor of an empty house that looks like our own
coffee with lemon hangover, you look like a blurry picture
One night we screwed up again outside the bar
thank goodness
if this is the last song then the moon will explode
I’ll be there to tell you you’re wrong, you’re wrong, you know
no music here
If you don’t sleep, where will you be? where are you going?
when life is then exaggerated
All the runs the slaps, the mistakes you make
when something upsets you
I know you don’t sleep, sleep, sleep, sleep, never sleep
where will the two lives go
if this is the last song then the moon will explode
I’ll be there to tell you you’re wrong, you’re wrong, you know
no music here
If you don’t sleep, where will you be? where are you going?
when life goes too far
All the games, slaps, mistakes you make
when something upsets you
I know you don’t sleep, sleep, sleep, sleep, you never sleep anyway
what changed two lives Can be taken
We’re the only sane people in the entire universe
yelling on the roof
no one feels this way
no one watches movies anymore
flowers in your room
my chain mail
We’re the only sane people in the entire universe
yelling angrily on the roof
no one feels this way
no one watches movies anymore
flowers in your room
my chain mail
We are a book on the floor of an empty house that looks like our own
Lost in the crowd, how many words have no answer
we screwed up another night
thank goodness
We are a book on the floor of an empty house that looks like our own
Lost in the world, how many words can not be answered
One night we screwed up again outside the bar
thank goodness
if this is the last song then the moon will explode
I’ll be there to tell you you’re wrong, you’re wrong, you know
no music here
If you don’t sleep, where will you be? where are you going?
when life is then exaggerated
All the running and slapping, your mistakes
when something upsets you
i know you didn’t sleep
if this is the last song then the moon will explode
I’ll be there to tell you you’re wrong, you’re wrong, you know
no music here
If you don’t sleep, where will you be? where are you going?
when life goes too far
All the games, slaps, mistakes you make
when something upsets you
I know you can’t sleep anyway
turn off the lights even if you don’t like it
We stay in the dark, only the sound around
beyond the madness that dances in all things
Two lives, look at the mess
even if you don’t want to turn off the lights
We sit in the dark, only the sound
beyond the madness that dances in all things
Two lives, look at the mess
if this is the last song then the moon will explode
I’ll be there to tell you you’re wrong, you’re wrong, you know
no music here
I know you don’t sleep, sleep, sleep, sleep, never sleep
where will the two lives go
two lives
if this is the last song then the moon will explode
I’ll be there to tell you you’re wrong, you’re wrong, you know
no music here
I know you don’t sleep, sleep, sleep, sleep, you never sleep anyway
Turning point of two lives
two lives
*We’re screwed Can also mean “we f**ked”. Without additional context, it’s impossible to know what the lyrics actually mean.
