Um suponhamos...

Sobre uma música que serve muitas vezes de banda sonora aos dias de escrita. Ouvida assim em fundo, enquanto estou a fazer outras coisas, soa sobretudo a uns «ah-ah-ah-oh-oh-oh» melodiosos.
Ontem, contudo, tive oportunidade de me concentrar nela, porque não estava a fazer mais nada além de ouvi-la... e ver Regina Spektor sentada ao piano, a tocar e a cantar ao vivo no programa do Jay Leno. Constatei, por isso, que a letra é bonita. Dedicada a todos os "se's" da vida...

I never loved nobody fully
Always one foot on the ground
And by protecting my heart truly
I got lost in the sounds
I hear in my mind
All these voices
I hear in my mind all these words
I hear in my mind all this music

And it breaks my heart
And it breaks my heart
And it breaks my heart
It breaks my heart

And suppose I never met you
Suppose we never fell in love
Suppose I never ever let you kiss me so sweet and so soft
Suppose I never ever saw you
Suppose we never ever called
Suppose I kept on singing love songs just to break my own fall
Just to break my fall
Just to break my fall
Break my fall
Break my fall

All my friends say that of course its gonna get better
Gonna get better
Better better better better
Better better better

I never love nobody fully
Always one foot on the ground
And by protecting by heart truly
I got lost
In the sounds
I hear in my mind
All these voices
I hear in my mind all these words
I hear in my mind
All this music
And it breaks my heart
It breaks my heart
Breaks my
Heart
Breaks my heart
