Nossa Promessa

It's much harder to keep a promise,

than a secret, that I know

'cause the hands of time

will change things in ways you couldn't predict

when you're young and innocent, so right

until proven otherwise by those misty eyes

staring over the waters

dreaming of blue skies

and distant isles, miles away

but close to her heart

like the charm on her necklace

getting restless,

how she laid by my side

singing her favorite songs and lullabies

had to meet by fate

so didn't say good bye

see you laters, better days in sight,

we glorify life as we know it as an open book,

blank pages turn to filled ones

we took the scenic route to the train station

let the clock pass with a conversation

dear fellow traveller, drifting through the city

like a seasonal wind from another city

ooh she's an infectious groove

once subjected to, be aroused and soothed

a tone rings hollow if I can't forget, but...

luck follows where the hope is kept

so I set my goal and continue to step

o que e que aconteceu con nossa promessa

(whatever happened to our promise?)

oh promete me (promise me),

that you'll wake in bliss,

even if it's not next to me

everyday I miss that zone

we caressed, yes

very special like our first kiss

when nothing else mattered

but the sound of the lips mixed with the

pound of the beat matched with the

wave of the heat

alleyways to the busy streets

from the concrete hills to the hidden beach

our songs will reach

rest assured

treat each hour like the last I can afford

what's for sure

best friends, we were made for

and yet trade speech like

lovers on opposite shores

like somewhere between scared and sacred

no lie, when I saw her naked

in the dark, sucked my air out like a vacuum

never before, pale shades of gray meant more

to the lens

hunger for real warmth evident

the thunder, a shock to kill for, heaven sent

now understand that

my core yearns for raw touch

my soul has a hole, like a donut

that only she can fill

and I can feel her vibe enter

hit the tender spot

soft like chords on a fender rhodes

this year, I'll send her an electric rose

so who knows, that's how it goes

beyond columns and rows, x's and o's

yesterday I ran into a mutual pal

and he asked me, where in the world is she now?

my fellow traveller, the girl was the city

after she was gone, felt like any other city

all that was left behind, asymmetry

your guess is as good as mine

no two will last long without trust,

thrust to the gut much stronger than lust

so I set my goal and continue to bust

o que e que aconteceu con nossa promessa

oh promete me,

that you'll wake in bliss,

even if it's not next to me

everyday I miss that zone

we caressed, yes

very special like our first kiss

when nothing else mattered

but the sound of the lips mixed with the

pound of the beat matched with the

wave of the heat

alleyways to the busy streets

from the concrete hills to the hidden beach

our songs will reach

rest assured

treat each hour like the last I can afford

what's for sure

best friends, we were made for

and yet trade speech like

lovers on opposite shores...
