Run, baby, run...

"... I don't wanna wait

for our lives to be over

I wanna know right now

what will it be..."

Dido

É sobre se permitir. Melhor, é sobre não se sabotar! Sobre deixar a vida seguir sem tentar cortar os momentos, bons ou maus. Sobre tirar o pé do freio e abrir caminho para a aproximação de um outro ser. E é sobre ter pressa, sim! Sobre querer tudo ao mesmo tempo, agora! Tem momentos em que a ansiedade não tem que ser combatida, em que a gente tem que parar de podar a espontaneidade: se alguém entra, sem bater, e faz uma bagunça na sua vida, nem que seja por um dia, bem... aproveite!

Ele veio, acho que uns quinze anos depois. Disposto a uma noite de risos e algumas cervejas com uns amigos, acabou sendo surpreendido por um bolo fenomenal dos rapazes, e se viu sozinho com a menina do grupo. Teve uma noite agradável com cores e sabores conhecidos, com clima estranho e um desfecho inesperado. Ela não soube se era o momento certo, ou se havia dezoito anos de atraso. Não quis saber. Aproveitou.

I Don't Want To Wait

Dido

So open up your morning light,
And say a little prayer for I
You know that if we are to stay alive
Then see the peace in every eye...
She had two babies, one was six months, one was three
In the war of '44...
Every telephone ring, every heartbeat stinging
When she thought it was God calling her
Oh, would her son grow to know his father?
I don't want to wait for our lives to be over,
I want to know right now what will it be
I don't want to wait for our lives to be over,
Will it be yes or will it be...sorry?
He showed up all wet on the rainy front step
Wearing shrapnel in his skin
And the war he saw lives inside him still,
It's so hard to be gentle and warm
The years pass by and now he has granddaughters
You look at me from across the room
You're wearing your anguish again
Believe me I know the feeling
It sucks you into the jaws of anger
So breathe a little more deeply my love
All we have is this very moment
And I don't want to do what his father,
And his father, and his father did,
I want to be here now
So open up your morning light,
And say a little prayer for I
You know that if we are to stay alive,
Then see the peace in every eye...
So open up your morning light,
And say a little prayer for I
You know that if we are to stay alive,
Then see the love in every eye...
