This morning I woke up
Why did I have to wake up to this?
I thought about you
And the survivors and victims
Why does Nature have a hit list?

Ok, I’m just mad and angry
To ever question the powers that be.
I’m just sad and sorry

I’m just searching, searching
For the questions
Nevertheless the answers and solutions And now
We’re all learning, learning
From the lessons nevertheless taking the test
What a shame we never knew them.

I found you minutes later.
So glad you’re alive and fine.
Hate to see your world crash from a tremor
In 20 seconds time.

But you’re just distorted and confused.
What can I do
Seeing you scarred facing the truth?



You’re just searching, searching
For the remains
Nevertheless the causes and strains
And now
We’re all learning, learning
From the lessons nevertheless taking the test
What a shame we never knew them.


So right now I want to cry.
You wanna cry too?
Right now we all want to cry.
We all want to cry.
Let’s cry!


Now wipe your face dry and lift your head up high!

Per le vittime del terremoto in L'Aquila.

The Perfect Song

We’re so perfect
We’re invincible
That’s what they see
That’s how they see
you and me.

They say I’m funny
But maybe I’m the joke
And they just poke
fun at me.
You seem to be a genius
But you’re stupid cuz
You believe in love.

We’re such a perfect couple
We’re the perfect misfits
We need each other
We’re so dependent.
We’re now in the perfect trouble
And We can’t escape it
We’re the perfect pair
If the shoes would fit
We’ve committed the perfect crime
And we’re the perfect victims.

How’s it on your side?
Have you been swallowed by your pride
Or are you just trying to hide?
There’re only so many places you can go
There’re only so many people you know.

I wish we could do it again
You know, be friends.

To my good friend, Adam. Shukran.

I want you to know
That I find it difficult
To write with no feeling.
Right now, a pen & piece of paper aren’t appealing
‘cause I have nothing to say.
Unfortunately, poetry doesn’t work that way.

You want a song
But all the melodies I sing are wrong.
They’d never be good enough for you
It has to be perfect for you.
You want a friend,
Someone who will be there ‘til the end.
I want to be good enough for you
I wish I were perfect for you.

Teach me.
I’m listening.
I’ll give you what you desire if you give me what I need.
Let’s learn the matters of the tongue.
Everyday, every night, we’ll have fun.
And then one day you’ll say you’re in love.

But right now,
You want a song
But all the words I write are wrong.
They’d never be good enough for you
They have to be perfect for you.
You want a girl,
Someone who will be there til the end of the world.
I want to be good enough for you.
I wish I were perfect for you.

I want you to know
That it isn’t so difficult
To write what I’m feeling.
Right now, a pen and piece of paper are saving me from killing
My heart, my mind, my soul
Unfortunately, you’ll never know

‘cause all you want is a song
And I don’t want the melodies or words to be wrong.
They’d never be good enough for you.
I want them to be perfect for you.
You want a friend
Someone who will be there ‘til the end.
I hope I’m good enough for you.
I hope I’m perfect for you.

Losers Never Win

Sometimes I wonder who I'm talking to. It feels like I'm talking to a brick wall
but the wall has blue eyes and sleek brown hair and an accent that I can't resist.
Sometimes I wonder where my love is going. It feels like it's going nowhere
but the place is somewhere up north in a huge city about 5,000 miles away.

Sometimes I wonder, but I'm always dreaming, and I never think
before I leap. 'Cause being careful is for losers
and losers never win but always lose
but sometimes I do!

You never listen to what I say. The words just float away into the space, between us.
You never count your blessings.Maybe the angels are wasting their time
trying to get through yout crowded mind of thoughts that are lost!

Sometimes you see the obvious but you're always blind to what's within
and you never look before you leap
Cause considering danger is for losers
and losers never win but always lose
and sometimes you do!

We always joke around but the joke becomes the sad truth
and the truth is we're both miserable as hell.
We always take life lightly like a feather floating through the air
and we don't care where it'll land.

So sometimes we're happy
but we're always laughing
And we never take heed before we leap
Cause listening is for losers and losers never win
but always lose and sometimes we do!

New Year Resolution

This year was such a ride.
There were times when I wanted to die.
I got away with so many lies
but all I wanted was to be by your side.

The air was hard to breathe.
The moments were hard to believe.
And where will this road lead?
Hopefully to somewhere I don't want to leave.

Now I can't imagine my life without you
but with you, it feels like a dream.
You've tamed me to do what you want me to do
and you've set me free.
Are there any words to express how I feel?
Cuz sometimes I think your voice isn't real.
And all of those times I've wanted to change your life,
the day that I first saw you,
you changed mine.

I can't stay mad at you.
My heart wouldn't be happy with that.
Sometimes it does good to miss you,
but I'm miserable cuz you're the only thing I lack.
Baby, it hurts when you want what you can't have!


This year was such an experience.
There were times when it didn't make sense.
Day in and day out, we felt so intense.
But next year, I promise it'll be different.

Because We're Human

You know
we have to love,
we have to love
because
we're human.

You know,
we have to fight,
we have to fight
because
we're human.

Because we're human,
we're natural beings
We want to know everything
but we learn one way only
there's only some much we can begin to understand
Because we're human.

You know
we have to discover
we have to discover
cure and recover
why we're human.

You know
we have to analyze
we have to analyze
why we live such complex lives
because we're human.

Because we're human
We can be self destructive
and reluctant
We're a nuisance to the universal plan
All because
Only because
Just because
We're human!

I Hate Holding Hands (revised 2008)

I don't want to worry anymore.
I don't want you to know me for sure.
The door's open.
It's time for me to leave.

I don't want to hold your hand.
I hate holding hands.
Cause I know that you will leave me.
I won't hold your hand.
Cause I hate holding hands
Knowing that hands will never hold me.

We've touched before.
It was magic,
but how tragic,
I can't feel you anymore.

If we've ever cross the street
the cars would've run over me
and my heart
fell apart
And all you did was say that you're sorry...

Your fingers are slipping.
They're always slipping.
My mind is drifting.
You're not listening.

Hands will never hold me.
Hands will never hold me.
Your trust will never hold me.
