Andare, partire, tornare [English translation]

The highway is already over

just a little more 'til I get to the city

I'm going fast because

I'm coming back to you

the outskirts are sliding away

all the same in the fog

and as usual

there's more fog than a road (here)

and I know it's a risk to run

but I don't have any more time

and the distance is way too much if I

think of you

think of you

Go, leave, come back

feel the road that enters in your heart

the radio always turned on helps me thinking that it keeps me company

my mind is already at home

but there's a a police roadblock

it's right behind the overpass

broken glass here and there

and the ambulance that goes away

and nothing is left other than wreckage pieces

I get out of the car and I stop and stare

maybe it's a boy like us, like me and then I strongly think of you

Go, leave, come back

you tell me 'Who wants to die at 20 years old?'

but unless you're in it, you're never gonna think

that it might happen to you, or you

and still go, leave, come back

everyone has somebody who's waiting for them

and I can't wait, I want to touch you

you can't understand it, but I want to make sure you're there

And there's light up there

and a shadow, and that's you

I'll jump on the staircase steps, two by two

(Like) two hands, yours

Go, leave, come back

you're already sleeping, I place a ear on your heart

I hear it as it beats, slower and slower it disappears

how much anxiety I have

how much anxiety I have

That car is in my mind,

that flashing

I think about it and I don't know

if I'll be able to fall asleep

tonight
