Sobreviviendo

Surviving

Sobreviviendo

I love you so muchTe amo tanto
That I learned to sayQue aprendí a decir
Your nameTu nombre
Before mineAntes que el mío
If we reachSi llegamos
The edge of emptinessA la orilla del vacío
If you jumpSi tú saltas
I'll followYo te sigo

I love you so muchTe quiero tanto
We are closeEstamos cerca
Why does distance lie?¿Por qué miente la distancia?
And each photoY cada foto
Is a shortcut to our childhoodEs un atajo a nuestra infancia
When simplicityCuando lo simple
MatteredTenía importancia

And jumping in the rainY saltar en la lluvia
Crying with laughterLlorando de risa
Why did we stop doing it?¿Por qué lo dejamos de hacer?
Why did no one tell us¿Por qué nadie nos dijo
That time doesn't warnQue el tiempo no avisa
That growing up is a trap?Que es una trampa crecer?

We were growing upFuimos creciendo
Without realizingSin darnos cuenta
That it would hurtQue iba a doler

SurvivingSobreviviendo
Being the adultA ser el adulto
I don't want to beQue no quiero ser

Today blood callsHoy la sangre llama
My soul demandsMi alma me reclama
That my handsQue mis manos
Couldn't holdNo supieron sostener
The momentsLos momentos
That will never returnQue jamás van a volver

I miss so muchExtraño tanto
When there were noCuando no había
Empty chairs at the tableSillas vacías en la mesa
With chocolateCon chocolate
They healed our sadnessNos curaban la tristeza
Carrying the worldCargar el mundo
That now weighsQue ahora pesa

Shooting at the moonDispararle a la luna
With water balloonsCon globos de agua
Flying a paper airplaneVolar un avión de papel

Why did no one tell us¿Por qué nadie nos dijo
That time changes usQue el tiempo nos cambia
That growing up is a trap?Que es una trampa crecer?

And we were growing upY fuimos creciendo
Without realizingSin darnos cuenta
That it would hurtQue iba a doler

SurvivingSobreviviendo
Being the adultA ser el adulto
I don't want to beQue no quiero ser

Today blood callsHoy la sangre llama
My soul demandsMi alma me reclama
That my handsQue mis manos
Couldn't holdNo supieron sostener
The momentsLos momentos
That will never returnQue jamás van a volver

I love you so muchTe amo tanto
That I no longer wantQue ya no quiero
To live in the pastVivir más del pasado
And I take advantageY aprovecho
Of the seconds by your sideLos segundos a tu lado
Growing with youCrecer contigo
Is the bestEs lo mejor
Thing that has happened to meQue me ha pasado
