The short life of confetti

What passes, will return
It’s like a circle that life spins
Fantasy is useful
 
To breath everything beforehand
 
You laugh next to me
Only a few more things make sense
Beside what we have
For the two of us, who obviously are here.
 
Amazed by the images
By the black and white of those old movies
By the first flight of swallows
What angels are made of
 
The short life of confetti
Makes us feel that we’re free
And this still gives us chills
Chills
 
And dividing in half
Tonight till the morning
Maybe happiness
Is not that different from this
 
Amazed by the images
By the black and white of those old movies
By the first flight of swallows
What angels are made of
 
The short life of confetti
Makes us feel that we’re free
And this still gives us chills
Chills
 
Amazed by the fragile
performances of acrobats
By the movement of oceans
By the wind that caresses the trees
 
The short life of confetti
Makes us feel that we’re free
And this still gives us chills
Chills
