I feel the sunrise touching me behind the neck, on my head
Inside this pink sweater I can't give myself an answer
You say it's better if I change sweater and personality
But your smile is the only thing that can fuck me
Let it go for now, don't call back
Call back, call back, call back anymore
It doesn't hurt, hurt, hurt anymore anyway
I'm staying here, I'm wasting another night, I'm looking for the Nile1 in the Naviglio2
It's seven o'clock here, you call in after, I won't answer, smoking by the poolside
You said "Let's run away to China", but
Where am I going if you're not close to me anymore,
If the Nile is no longer there?
I'm sleeping in my car to get alcohol out of my head
The Lacoste sweater is the only thing of yours that I still have
But now you're forgetting my child-like actions
When at night we always mistook the Naviglio for the Nile
I'm old, but I don't feel old
You remember that I was born in September3 but
I'm staying here, I'm wasting another night, I'm looking for the Nile in the Naviglio
It's seven o'clock here, you call in after, I won't answer
Smoking by the poolside
You said "Let's run away to China", but
Where am I going if you're not close to me anymore,
If the Nile is no longer there?
Don't call, call, call, call anymore, it doesn't hurt, hurt, hurt, hurt anymore anyway
Feels like I'm drowning, sinking, sinking going down
I don't want to swim, swim anymore here in the neighborhood
I'm staying here, I'm wasting another night, I'm looking for the Nile in the Naviglio
It's seven o'clock here, you call in after, I won't answer
Smoking by the poolside
You said "Let's run away to China", but
Where am I going if you're not close to me anymore,
If the Nile is no longer there?
Don't call, call, call, call anymore
It doesn't hurt, hurt, hurt, hurt anymore anyway
Feels like I'm drowning, sinking, sinking going down
I don't want to swim, swim anymore here in the neighborhood
If the Nile is no longer there
