saudade
come up to meet you, tell you i’m sorry
you don’t know how lovely you are
i had to find you, tell you i need you
tell you i set you apart
tell me your secrets and ask me your questions
oh let’s go back to the start
running in circles, coming in tails
heads are a science apart
nobody said it was easy
it’s such a shame for us to part
nobody said it was easy
no one ever said it would be this hard
oh take me back to the start
i was just guessing at numbers and figures
pulling your puzzles apart
questions of science, science and progress
do not speak as loud as my heart
tell me you love me, or come back and haunt me
oh and i rush to the start
running in circles, chasing tails
and coming back as we are
nobody said it was easy
oh it’s such a shame for us to part
nobody said it was easy
no one ever said it would be so hard
i’m going back to the start
(the scientist, coldplay)

estava distraída olhando a rua, indo pro trabalho agora cedo. a música começa a tocar e lembro de uma noite fria no motel na beira da estrada, espelhos e banheira divertidos (não me canso de achar graça dos motéis), o casaco peludo na minha pele nua. e os sapatos de salto. sono e felicidade na manhã, à procura de uma padaria, aquele cansaço gostoso de uma noite boa e mal-dormida, andando em nuvens. lembro que deixei ele dormindo na minha cama, há minutos, e de ouvir a música me deu uma baita saudade e vontade de voltar. correndo.
