Avere l'impressione di restare sempre al punto di partenza 00:15
E chiudere la porta per lasciare il mondo fuori dalla stanza 00:22
Considerare che sei la ragione per cui io vivo 00:30
Questo è o non è amore? 00:37
Cercare un equilibrio che svanisce ogni volta che parliamo 00:45
E fingersi felici di una vita che non è come vogliamo 00:52
E poi lasciare che la nostalgia passi da sola 00:59
E prenderti le mani e dirti ancora 01:07
Sono solo parole 01:13
Sono solo parole 01:17
Sono solo parole 01:20
Le nostre sono solo parole 01:23
Sperare che domani arrivi in fretta e che svanisca ogni pensiero 01:29
Lasciare che lo scorrere del tempo renda tutto un po' più chiaro 01:36
Perché la nostra vita, in fondo, non è nient'altro che 01:44
Un attimo eterno, un attimo, tra me e te 01:51
Sono solo parole 01:57
Sono solo parole 02:01
Le nostre sono solo parole 02:04
Sono solo parole, parole, parole, parole 02:08
02:18
E ora penso che il tempo che ho passato con te 02:20
Ha cambiato per sempre ogni parte di me 02:24
Tu sei stanco di tutto e io non so cosa dire 02:28
Non troviamo il motivo neanche per litigare 02:31
Siamo troppo distanti, distanti tra noi 02:35
Ma le sento un po' mie le paure che hai 02:39
Vorrei stringerti forte e dirti che non è niente 02:42
Posso solo ripeterti ancora 02:46
Sono solo parole 02:49
02:54
Sono solo parole 03:04
Le nostre sono solo parole 03:07
Le nostre sono solo parole 03:10
Sono solo parole, parole, parole, parole 03:15
Sono solo parole 03:26

[English]
Feeling like I'm always at square one
And closing the door to keep the world out of the room
Considering that you are the reason I live
Is this or is this not love?
Searching for a balance that disappears every time we talk
And pretending to be happy with a life that isn't what we want
And then letting nostalgia pass on its own
And taking your hands and telling you again
They are just words
They are just words
They are just words
Ours are just words
Hoping that tomorrow comes quickly and that every thought fades away
Letting the passage of time make everything a bit clearer
Because our life, in the end, is nothing but
An eternal moment, a moment, between you and me
They are just words
They are just words
Ours are just words
They are just words, words, words, words
...
And now I think that the time I've spent with you
Has forever changed every part of me
You are tired of everything and I don't know what to say
We can't even find a reason to argue
We are too distant, distant from each other
But I feel a bit of your fears as my own
I wish I could hold you tight and tell you it's nothing
I can only repeat to you again
They are just words
...
They are just words
Ours are just words
Ours are just words
They are just words, words, words, words
They are just words
...
