Lyrics and Music by Noemi Liba

lyrics

If not for the one you love,
How for another?
If not for yourself, then for whom do you speak?
If not for a touch,
Well then, how could you feel?
And how can I touch you through all this debris?

But I can't be hiding myself just to please you.
And I won't shut my eyes just to 'show you I care'.
No, you can't just look through me and call this open.
You can't just close down to hide what you fear -
'cause we free-fall...

Why you shouting at the rain?
So loudly, I could no be near...
While you shouted I was alone already, my dear..

These words, habits washed in by pride and devotion,
These catch cries, monsoons over rivers and streams,
If I float with my back on this sea of emotion,
How hard could it, would it, just for us to be?

But I can't be hiding myself just to please you.
And I won't shut my eyes just to 'show you I care'.
No, you can't just look through me and call this open.
You can't just close down to hide what you fear -
'cause we free-fall...
