Shadows on Our Hearts
Pierluigi Gangemi[Intro] Dim streetlight glows, Holds us close, yet far apart. Music lingers in the air, No room to dance, no space to start. [Verse 1] Through a glass of wine, I watch you, Words dissolve, slowly, quietly, Through smoke and an old blues tune, Playing softly, almost in mute. You say nothing, yet I understand, A weight that presses, crushing our hands, But we won't admit, we won't confess, Hanging by a thread, so thin it can't last. [Chorus] Shadows on our hearts, Can't hide them anymore, Among piano keys, And breaths that intertwine. Maybe there's no light here, But the darkness is sweet, you see, When we're together, Even though it hurts, it hurts. [Verse 2] Your fingers trace my face, Like notes on an old vinyl, Each scratch, each imperfection, A melody that's mine to feel. We stay here, half-dreaming, Saying nothing, not moving an inch, But the silence between us tastes of truth, And I don't know how to break it. [Chorus] Shadows on our hearts, Can't hide them anymore, Among piano keys, And breaths that intertwine. Maybe there's no light here, But the darkness is sweet, you see, When we're together, Even though it hurts, it hurts. [Bridge] And then, your hands stop, Like time that surrenders, While the world outside keeps turning. I want to tell you it's all fine, But I don't know, not even I, So we stay here, Living in this silence, That tastes of us. [Chorus] Shadows on our hearts, Can't hide them anymore, Among piano keys, And breaths that intertwine. Maybe there's no light here, But the darkness is sweet, you see, When we're together, Even though it hurts, it hurts. [Outro] Maybe one day we'll understand, Maybe not, but it's fine this way, In the jazz-infused dark, We find each other, we lose our way, Among shadows on our hearts. [End]
