Se Correr o Bicho Pega

If you run, the bug catches

Se Correr o Bicho Pega

I thought about running from myselfEu pensei correr de mim
But wherever I went, I was thereMas aonde eu ia eu tava
The more I ranQuanto mais eu corria
The closer I gotMais pra perto eu chegava

When the heel arrivedQuando o calcanhar chegava
The big toe had already goneO dedão do pé já tinha ido
I found myself hidingEscondendo eu me achava
And found myself hiddenE me achava escondido
I only know that when I think I knowSó sei que quando penso que sei
I no longer know who I amJá não sei quem sou
I'm tired of finding myself in the placeJá enjoei de me achar no lugar
Wherever I go, I amQue aonde eu vou eu tô

I thought about running from myself...Eu pensei correr de mim...

I'm thinking about taking a vacation from myselfTô pensando tirar férias de mim
But I also want to goMas eu também quero ir
I'll only go if my shadow doesn't goSó vou se minha sombra não for
If it goes, I'll stay hereSe ela for eu fico aqui
One of these days dreamingUm dia desses sonhando
I thought: I won't wake upEu pensei: não vou me acordar
I'll let myself sleepVou me deixar dormindo
And I'll get up to celebrateE levanto pra comemorá

I thought about running from myself...Eu pensei correr de mim...

The mirror told meO espelho me disse
There's only one way to deal with itSó tem um jeito pro assunto
There's no point in wanting to dieNão adianta querer morrer
Because if you die, it goes alongPorque se morrer vai junto
If you run, the bug catchesSe correr o bicho pega
But if you clean up, the bug disappearsMas se limpar o bicho some
You have to untangleTem que desembaraçar
