that has increased its level
the music has not the same
effect that used to have before.
Maybe I've learned so much
in so little and so short time
that I don't even know what language I speak
or what's my position in
this game of life
I feel like I've lost all forces now
to jump and grab the sun
and no matter how much I try
I can't listen to my own voice.
I don't know if I've lived ten thousand days
or one day ten thousand times
and I add you to my history
wanting to change what I've lost
for something better
~Chorus~
I need you, I really need you my love
wherever you are now
I need all your love
I need you, I really need you my love
'cuz you are part of me
I need you right here
'cuz I can't live without you
I haven't learned it...
And I feel lost like I'm lost
as a needle in the middle of the sea
as the moving sands
I submerge
among my loneliness
I don't know if I have lived
ten thousand days
or one day ten thousand times
and I add you to my history
wanting to change what I've lost
for something better
~Chorus~ repeat
i need you i need you i neeeeeeed you
