lyrics
Si fuéramos palabras rimaríamos
Corazones errantes,
Corriendo juntos,
Pero siempre separados,
Abre la puerta y el futuro se reinicia,
Pero nunca afirmé que fueras mía,
Solo que si fuéramos palabras rimaríamos
Precaución,luego lamento
Un perro cobarde
ladrando amenazas vacías,
Retrocediendo, bailando,
Mientras se establecen patrones,
Pero nunca afirmé que fueras mía,
Sólo que si fuéramos palabras rimaríamos
Recogido y procesado
dentro de veinte y siete días,
Entrega gratis.
Envíame una flor alrededor del mundo y
que vuelva a vos
Las ruedas se salen
y renguean hasta la próxima
sustitución de elección.
Pero vos fuiste la oración
que me dio una voz,
ahora lloro,
Como nosotros,
dicho sea de paso
Y siempre me preguntaré,
¿Cómo sería si nunca
nos hubiéramos conocido?
La vida sería más fácil,
Pero sin brillo,
Sospecho,
Me pediste que
lo mantuviera discreto,
Así que cantaré
una canción de engaño,
Y nunca afirmé que fueras mía,
Sólo que si fuéramos palabras,
rimaríamos,
si fuéramos palabras,
rimaríamos,
If we were words we would rhyme
Wandering hearts,
Ticking together,
But always apart,
Open the door and the future restarts,
But I'd never claim you were mine,
Just if we were words we would rhyme.
Caution then regret,
A cowardly dog barking empty threats,
Backtracking,
Dancing,
As patterns are set,
But I'd never claim you were mine,
Just if we were words we would rhyme.
Picked and processed within twenty seven
days,
Delivery free.
Send me round the globe and back again
to you a flower.
Wheels come off and hobble over to the
next replacement of choice.
But you were the sentence that gave me a
voice,
Now I cry,
As we by the by.
And I will always wonder,
How it would be if we never had met,
Life would be easier,
But dull,
I suspect,
You'd ask me to keep it discreet,
So I'll sing a song of deceit,
And I'd never claim you were mine,
Just if we were words,
We would rhyme,
If we were words,
We would rhyme
